Problem with requesting a binary file with activeperl in windows

I use the following lines to request a binary file in a website

my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent("keep_alive"=>3);
my $request = new HTTP::Request('GET', $url);
my $response = $ua->request($request)

But it seems activeperl treats the file as a text file instead of a binary one.
This is not problem when in linux. But in windows, it added a CR (13) byte before each LF(10) byte.
So the binary file was corrupted.

How to avoid this in windows?
