1. Read up on the LWP module set on CPAN. To simply access a URL, examine the LWP::Simple module.

2. Not to point you to another module, but you will want to also read PDF::Create.

If you are wanting to do anything in Perl, be sure to check CPAN to see if there is a module based around what you are wanting to do.

Regards,

Jeff
