I seem to remember that Perl modules are "objects" or collections of them and I remember from the many attacks on my comprehension by "object-orientation" that "objects" can be ASKED this-or-that. (It's supposed to be a "feature.")

Sometimes you can learn about objects by dumping them: 

perl -MHTTP::Tiny -MData::Dumper -le '$o=HTTP::Tiny->new;print Dumper 
+$o'
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'timeout' => 60,
                 'keep_alive' => 1,
                 'max_redirect' => 5,
                 'verify_SSL' => 0,
                 'agent' => 'HTTP-Tiny/0.070',
                 'no_proxy' => []
               }, 'HTTP::Tiny' );

Ish: 
perl -MHTTP::Tiny -le '$o=HTTP::Tiny->new;print "$_ = $o->{$_}" for so
+rt keys %$o'
agent = HTTP-Tiny/0.070
keep_alive = 1
max_redirect = 5
no_proxy = ARRAY(0x7fc821802fc8)
timeout = 60
verify_SSL = 0

Sometimes, there's no params: 
perl -MImage::Magick -MData::Dumper -le '$o=Image::Magick->new;print D
+umper $o'
$VAR1 = bless( [], 'Image::Magick' );
