Perl WWW::Curl::Easy equivalent of PHP's CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER

Hello, I couldn't find a Perl mailing list, so excuse me for asking here.

I really need to post some data, and get the response back. Just how 
would I do that? I currently have this:


$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_URL, 'https://example.com/path/to/script');
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);
$curl->perform();

There's no CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER in libcurl C API, and I presume Perl 
doesn't have it either. WWW::Curl has almost zero documentation. Thanks 
for any help.
