Open a web file through Perl

I need to open a file which is on the web through Perl
Basically i am looking for something as

open(FILE,"https://ims-svn.swissbank.com/trunk/config.properties")
|| die "ERROR: (Build Master) Unable to open environment file";

Any help , how it can be accomplished in Perl ?

Cheers,
Sumit

one of the below should be able to do this:

LWP::Simple
LWP::UserAgent
WWW::Mechanize

Search for them on http://search.cpan.org/

what you can't do is use the open() function, that is for opening files on a local computer.
