Figured it out.

I changes this line:

( $ReturnStr, $CurlStatus ) = CurlDownloadFile( "--referer
'http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php'", "-v " ~ $ClickHere,
$NewFileName, %MaxTime<MaxTime4>, True );

to

( $ReturnStr, $CurlStatus ) = CurlDownloadFile( "--referer
http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php", "-v " ~ $ClickHere, $NewFileName,
%MaxTime<MaxTime4>, True );

The mistake was the single qutoes around

       http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

And the reason it worked from the command line and not Perl
was that the command line was within the shell (bash)
and perl was running the command outside any shell.

Quotes used outside of the shell are pasted to the program
making curl think the quotes were part of the address.
