in thread Grabbing a web page without LWP or the like

pssst....bud! The question said something about "without LWP or the like"

Update:
FWIW, I did read the code before posting this. I interpreted use URI::Escape as "the like."

I apologize if this sounded snippy or mean -- it was meant in humor.

    Psst -- the module doesn't use the LWP suite. If you checked the source to the module, you'd see it just uses the standard IO::Socket module. I put it in the LWP namespace because it's similar in function.

    Tsk, tsk. So quick to prejudge...

      Naw, I was looking at "and the like": you import URI::Escape.

      I will admit that your code would be a good place to go hunting to help in another implementation, and the import of URI::Escape highlights some of the issues you need to think about in addressing HTTP negotiations. It wouldn't be that hard to steal the appropriate stuff from that module, I suppose.

      Oh: when I downloaded your .tar.gz, it was just a .tar -- either my browser did a conversion on the fly without changing the extension or you never gzipped your archive.
