Actually the host wouldn't need WLP, the user would need to use
PERL's cpan utility or manually install the LWP. And this wouldn't
work too well as I think Perl's cpan command line utility needs a
download client, hehe. Cause it has to download perl modules. I'm
going to verify this with my new shiny Pure 64 Sparc64 build. i'll
rename the wget binary for now and test this.
Okay it looks like the perl install from final system has HTTP::Tiny
and uses that to download with.
So the user can actually use the cpan client and manually configure
it, choose a cpan mirror to download modules from, and then install
LWP. Or any other module they want and write a program to download
files. Awesome.
Or just use a script to use HTTP::Tiny!
