Agreed. But LWP is used all over the place and he's more likely to find it in his tutorials and books and classes. You'd be at a sore disadvantage if you didn't know some LWP in my opinion. But you may think me an old fart.
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

But you may think me an old fart. WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP, a very very thin layer on top of LWP, that makes LWP a joy to use, pure LWP is too much bookkeeping -- for example, take a look around perlmonks for amount of noobs who forgot to make a cookie jar when trying to learn LWP -- Mechanize takes care of that chore

If you're not sundialsvc4, you're doing a very convincing impression. And I repeat, the upvotes you get anonymously do not prove any conspiracy, only that everyone here is genial and gives participants the benefit of the doubt.
