`GET 'http://www.google.com'` works just as well from the prompt, but requires less typing. `GET` comes with LWP.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`GET` doesn't come with every LWP installation, you're generally asked if you want it or not. Flavio perl -ple'$_=reverse' <<<ti.xittelop@oivalf Don't fool yourself.	[reply] [d/l]
