in thread How to control input of an external program?

I don't know what you made you think that some methods aren't accepted, but testing shows DELETE is accepted 

$ perl -MHTTP::Request -e'
    print HTTP::Request->new( DELETE => "http://..." )->as_string
'
DELETE http://...

    Hmmm... interesting. I couldn't locate any documentation about it supporting all the methods. Good to know that it does. I think another reason I stopped looking was because I got the notion that I would have had to manually authenticate using Base64, and it started getting more complex than the one line of code I originally wanted to write.

    This little piece of code is really just to create and delete some users from a webservice I created, so I can run some junit tests with a populated server.

    It's amazing how sometimes the sideshow is more research than the main event! =)

    Thanks again for your insight. I am obviously only a novice Perl programmer. I definitely appreciate all of the advice/help I've received today.
