Read URL data from UNIX without wget,curl,lynx,w3m.

Hi Experts,
Problem statement :
We have an URL for which we need to read the data and get parsed inside the shell scripts.
My Aix has very limited perl utility, i cant install any utility as well.
Precisely, wget,cURL,Lynx,w3m and Lwp cant be used as i got these utilities only when i googled it.
And also i found one solution in Unix.com itself in below thread
37182-url-call-shell-script-6
Since i dont have enough posts am not able to post the complete link sorry for that
but i have given the later part of the title that is , thread name.
and in that cfajohnson has mentioned about some bash scripting and of that only one link is accessible and other one is not accessible( 1st link).
Please dont think am dusting the old one's am really in need of that script. Please help me . Any help would be really appreciated.

URI::URL(3)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					       URI::URL(3)

NAME
URI::URL - Uniform Resource Locators SYNOPSIS
$u1 = URI::URL->new($str, $base); $u2 = $u1->abs; DESCRIPTION
This module is provided for backwards compatibility with modules that depend on the interface provided by the "URI::URL" class that used to be distributed with the libwww-perl library. The following differences exist compared to the "URI" class interface: o The URI::URL module exports the url() function as an alternate constructor interface. o The constructor takes an optional $base argument. The "URI::URL" class is a subclass of "URI::WithBase". o The URI::URL->newlocal class method is the same as URI::file->new_abs. o URI::URL::strict(1) o $url->print_on method o $url->crack method o $url->full_path: same as ($uri->abs_path || "/") o $url->netloc: same as $uri->authority o $url->epath, $url->equery: same as $uri->path, $uri->query o $url->path and $url->query pass unescaped strings. o $url->path_components: same as $uri->path_segments (if you don't consider path segment parameters) o $url->params and $url->eparams methods o $url->base method. See URI::WithBase. o $url->abs and $url->rel have an optional $base argument. See URI::WithBase. o $url->frag: same as $uri->fragment o $url->keywords: same as $uri->query_keywords o $url->localpath and friends map to $uri->file. o $url->address and $url->encoded822addr: same as $uri->to for mailto URI o $url->groupart method for news URI o $url->article: same as $uri->message SEE ALSO
