When you get a 3xx response, you also get a Location: header that 
specifies where the content has moved to, e.g.:

Location: http://alternate-site.example.com/directory/foo

Usually, LWP takes care of this internally. In exotic situations, you 
might have to examine the contents of the Location: header yourself.

Read the docs for LWP and the response object:

perldoc LWP::UserAgent
perldoc HTTP::Response
