This article is a review of 20 CPAN modules that can be used to make HTTP requests. Many of the modules can handle FTP and other types of requests, but here I'm just focussing on HTTP, and in particular GET and POST requests. If you're thinking "Sheesh, just tell me what module to use!", here's a concise summary of the recommendations : A sensible default choice would be HTTP::Tiny : it handles all requests types, supports SSL, transparently handles redirects, and has a relatively small number of dependencies. If you're working with cookies or need full access to the request and/or response, and top performance and minimal dependencies aren't requirements, then use LWP (or Mojo::UserAgent if you're already using Mojolicious).
this project is in the process of moving to github! for further updates, see: http://www.scriptkitty.org perl editor built upon eclipse's dynamic languages toolkit ( http://www.eclipse.org/dltk ). current release: 1.0.2 note due to a switch from svn to git, the update site is temporarily unavailable. download here or install using the update site .
I'm in the throes of a major redesign of the site of my comic book, Académie des Chasseurs de Primes . Like any of those redesign, it involves a lot of CSS whack-a-mole. Fine-tuning one page throws a second one slightly off another, and fixing that second one causes unforseen effects on a third one. And so on, and so bloody forth.
