Greetings,
Over the years, I've written several, ahem... PHP, web scripts to communicate
with my HTTPd server(s). I would use it for all sorts of tasks to discover it's
responses. It's helpful for debugging perl scripts, the server, etc. Making
sure the server, or script, is posting the correct response(s) -- HEAD, for
example, ensures the server configuration(s) I'm experimenting with, ultimately
respond the way I want it to -- not necessarily the way it is intended to
(thwarting miscreants, for example). Anyway, I love perl (tho FAR from proficient),
so I should really be writing this in perl not in that
other script/language. ;)
So I guess my question is, given the multitude of available HTTP::, HTML::,
LWP::, etc available. I was hoping others here that have dealt with similar
circumstances might share their experiences. So that I can hopefully find/use
the right/best one the first time. :)
The script(s) I've written in the past, were simply forms, that provided
fields that I would use, depending on the task I needed to perform (loaded
into a web browser, of course).

Thank you for all your time, and consideration.

use perl::always;
my $perl_version = "5.12.4";
print $perl_version;
