The libwww-perl collection is a set of Perl modules which provides a
simple and consistent application programming interface (API) to the
World-Wide Web. The main focus of the library is to provide classes
and functions that allow you to write WWW clients. The library also
contain modules that are of more general use and even classes that
help you implement simple HTTP servers.

Most modules in this library provide an object oriented API. The user
agent, requests sent and responses received from the WWW server are
all represented by objects. This makes a simple and powerful
interface to these services. The interface is easy to extend
and customize for your own needs.
