Y'sure it's not LWP?

http://www.perl.org/CPAN/doc/wwwman/libwww/lib/LWP.html

http://perl.com/perl/wwwman/libwww/lwpcook.html

I've done a few (very) simple things with it using both MacPerl and UNIX Perl on
DEC Alpha. Really cool. You gotta give MacPerl a lot of memory, though, or else
it's Crash City. MacPerl 5.1.3r2 needs 8MB on my 8500/120/7.6.1 for a simple
script that snatches content of a web site & puts it in a file (or redirects it
to another script, or mails it, or whatever...).

Hope this helps.
