Argh! Don't do that. Use libwww-perl, which will do proper HTTP requests
from Perl.

http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl-5.801/lib/LWP.pm

In your case you would need something like

#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET =>
"http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?call=vk4tec-9&start=0&length=24&time
=h
our");
$res = $ua->request($req);
print $res->content;


I tested this and it works..
