in reply to LWP::Simple::Cookies - adds cookie support to LWP::Simple

if ( not LWP::Simple->can( 'import' ) ) { require LWP::Simple; }

This doesn't buy you anything over a simple require LWP::Simple. [Unless you are thinking that can() is significantly faster than the hash lookup that require already does, which I am unable to imagine a situation where I'd consider the difference "significant" even if can() was instantaneous.] (:

    Er, no. Whatever reason I had in not doing an unconditional require() has entirely evaporated.
