http://p3rl.org/LWP::Simple#get:

The get() function will fetch the document identified by the given URL and return it. It returns undef if it fails. […]

You will not be able to examine the response code or response headers (like 'Content-Type') when you are accessing the web using this function. If you need that information you should use the full OO interface (see LWP::UserAgent).

You really need better error reporting, switch to the LWP::UserAgent library. I suspect the forum software blocks the LWP user agent.
