Hi all,
I'm working on a project that involves making web service requests from
a Perl application. I've been using LWP to make the requests, which
works fine, but I'm wondering if there isn't a more lightweight module I
could use. The web service requests need to go over an HTTPS channel, so

LWP does everything I need it to do (and more), and it is my current
