Can someone point me where can I get some working examples on the use of handlers of LWP:UserAgent? From the docs:

  $ua->remove_handler( $phase, %matchspec )
  $ua->remove_handler( $phase, %matchspec )

[download]

I want to understand what are %matchspec in this context and how to successfully remove the ones I've added.

I'm using Mechanize to read some HTML pages and get some links to binary files. To trace the binary downloads, I added a simple handler using:

  $mech->add_handler(response_header => \&mytrace);

but I couldn't successfully remove it after the $mech->get() by analyzing the hashes from the following code after de add, in the middle and at the remove:

  $mech->handlers('response_header', $mech->response())

If required, I can post some code and it's output...
