HTTP::Lite is a stand-alone lightweight HTTP/1.1 implementation for perl. It
|
||
|
|
is not intended as a replacement for the fully-features LWP module. Instead,
|
||
|
|
it is intended for use in situations where it is desirable to install the
|
||
|
|
minimal number of modules to achieve HTTP support, or where LWP is not a good
|
||
|
|
candidate due to CPU overhead, such as slower processors. HTTP::Lite is also
|
||
|
|
significantly faster than LWP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HTTP::Lite is ideal for CGI (or mod_perl) programs or for bundling for
|
||
|
|
redistribution with larger packages where only HTTP GET and POST functionality
|
||
|
|
are necessary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you require more functionality, such as FTP or HTTPS, please see libwwwperl
|
||
|
|
(LWP). LWP is a significantly better and more comprehensive package than
|
||
|
|
HTTP::Lite, and should be used instead of HTTP::Lite whenever possible.
