Scraping non-html webpage in Perl



Hi,

I would like to get some information from a non-html webpage:
http://www.biomart.org/biomart/martservice?type=datasets&mart=CosmicMartusing
a perl script, and I was wondering if there are any modules out there
that can help me do this. I have so far seen modules that scrape html
webpages only.
Which modules could I use or any ideas how I can go about web scraping from
a webpage that is non-HTML in perl?

Thanks,
Martin
