LIBWWW-PERL-5

The libwww-perl distribution is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple and consistent programming interface (API) to the World-Wide Web. The main focus of the library is to provide classes and functions that allow you to write WWW clients, thus libwww-perl said to be a WWW client library. The library also contain modules that are of more general use.

The latest version of the library is libwww-perl-5.48.tar.gz (146 KB) which was released Apr 9, 2000. You will need perl version 5.004 or better to use this version. You can also look at the individual files of the latest distribution directly and the ChangeLog which should tell you if an upgrade is worthwhile.

The latest libwww-perl package as well as perl itself are also available on CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network). This is also the place to obtain the other packes that libwww-perl depend upon (URI, HTML::Parser, MIME::Base64, Digest::MD5, and Net::FTP from libnet) as well as other modules that I wrote.
