Libwww-perl is a collection of Perl modules which provides
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

The main architecture of the library is object oriented.
|
|
|
|
|
The user agent, requests sent and responses received from
|
|
|
|
|
the WWW server are all represented by objects. This makes
|
|
|
|
|
a simple and powerful interface to these services. The
|
|
|
|
|
interface should be easy to extend and customize for your
