I could do that but that would mean I'd have to change every user of the LWP::UserAgent::request method to clone the response. I was hoping to make the change at a higher level.	[reply]

Why not override the `request` method and do the change there? That way, all users of the request method will get your new request class. Also see perltoot	[reply] [d/l]

That is more of what I was thinking but I wasn't sure how to turn an HTTP::Response into a XXX::HTTP::Response (not liking the look of Acme::Damn). When you made your reply were you basically suggesting a combination of overriding LWP::UserAgent::request and cloning the HTTP::Response into an XXX::HTTP::Response? `package XXX::LWP::UserAgent; use base qw(LWP::UserAgent); sub request { my $self = shift; my $resp = $self->SUPER::request(@_); return XXX::HTTP::Response::clone_from_http_response($resp); }` [download] or is there perhaps some other way of avoiding duplicating LWP::UserAgent::request.

You could always subclass or wrap LWP::UserAgent	[reply]
