well, I didn't really plan on the module being used in the real world.
if the syntax were introduced into perl core I'd use it, but the
idea of source filters on a production module scares me a bit.

I genuinely think that something is awry with 'no LWP 6.0.0' in perl
core. However, as I have no C skills, I can't back up that assertion
with a patch that fixes things. thus, the only thing I can do to
further things on p5p is to become a nuisance :)

well, serious in a toungue-in-cheed kind of way :)
in all honesty, I whipped up the module thinking maybe somebody would
notice it and maybe get inspired in some way or another - there seem
to be a few modules in Acme:: that have some interesting properties
that could apply in the real world.
of course, I don't have to release it at all either. I was merely
trying to remove the splinter from my mind...
