Hi
Appreciate the further thought. All good to help the juices flow :-)
Identical code - yes. I guess I need to go look at the actual REST::Client and HTTP::Request CPAN module sources to see what they are doing to answer that.
I know when I developed the surrounding code back in 2008 I discovered a bug/feature in the Perl threading mechanism and variable sharing (reported back on it) that had me going in circles for a while, but led to some interesting workarounds that ended up making the code more efficient as a result. That isn't related to this though. I suppose I'll just have to dig through those net modules and see as well on this. Oh well :-) All good fun.
Kind regards
Derek
