LWP::Simple doesn't populate the diamond operator, so you can't use while(<>){..., to answer that question. Maybe you could tie a class to a filehandle that does the LWP::Simple get() behind the scenes, but that just seems a little silly.

It might please the gods if your script were a little more lazy. By that I mean, perhaps there should be a sleep 15 inside the loop, so that you're not banging away at the server quite so furiously. ...just a thought.
