Hi there,
Just a note -- my app, sitescooper
(http://jmason.org/software/sitescooper/ ) also uses LWP 5. It's a tool
which automatically retrieves the stories from several news websites,
trims off extraneous HTML, and converts them into formats you can read on
your Palm computing device for later reading on-the-move.
Thanks for writing it -- you saved me a lot of time (at least once I bit
the bullet and stopped working on my own simplistic .pm which used
IO::Sockets directly ;)
... BTW while I'm here -- can anyone suggest a way of working around the
requirement for MIME::Base64 in LWP, or at least a way I could distribute
M::B as "plain old perl code" rather than requiring it be built for each
platform? This one pkg makes sitescooper installation on a vanilla perl
distro a little more tricky than it should be :(
--j.
