All of this, and require goes unloved. :(

In the spirit of KISS, and also guessing that if loading LWP::Simple is too much a performance penalty, i can't imagine Autoloader will be well recieved, i put forward something like this :

sub once_in_a_blue_moon {
    require LWP::Simple;
    my $page = get('http://www.yahoo.com');
  }
[download]

_{please note, i suggest use'ing the module at the top to improve readability, as i think that will be more important in the long run that the minor gain of not loading LWP::Simple.}
