The package is available from these locations: http://www.oslonett.no/home/aas/perl/www/ ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/Perl/CPAN/pml/byauthor/GAAS/ ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/mod/pml/byauthor/GAAS/ ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/PERL/perl5.0/CPAN/pml/byauthor/GAAS/ ftp://janus.sedl.org/pub/mirrors/CPAN/mod/pml/byauthor/GAAS/ ftp://franz.ww.TU-Berlin.DE/pub/pml/byauthor/GAAS/ Libwww-perl is a library of Perl packages which provides a simple and consistent programming interface (API) to the World-Wide Web. There are actually two versions of libwww-perl: one for Perl4, and one for Perl5. Both have a similar architecture, loosely based on the CERN Library of Common Code. The latest perl4 version of libwww-perl is libwww-perl-0.40 and is available from: http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/websoft/libwww-perl/ ftp://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/websoft/libwww-perl/ The Perl5 version is a complete rewrite for Perl5: the code is organised in Modules, provides an Object Oriented API, is updated for the latest HTTP and URL specification, and offers some extended functionality. The best place to discuss these packages is on the mailing list.
