um... why not just use LWP [http://www.linpro.no/lwp/] ?  either
LWP::Simple::getstore, or the command-line program of the same name:

| $ perl -MLWP::Simple=getstore \
|        -lwe 'getstore "http://www.perl.com/", "perl-com.html"'
| $ ls -al perl-com.html
| -rw-rw-r--    1 tkil     tkil        39697 Jul  9 16:06 perl-com.html

f you're just going to read it in, you can also fetch directly to
memory with "get", from the same package:

| $ perl -MLWP::Simple=get \
|        -lwe 'my $s = get "http://www.perl.com/"; print length $s'
| 39697

if you really must use an external program, consider "wget":

| $ wget -O perl-com-2.html http://www.perl.com/
| --16:08:06--  http://www.perl.com/
|            => `perl-com-2.html'
| Connecting to www.perl.com:80... connected!

| $ ls -al perl-com-2.html
