HI Randal, Although not in the Perl culture, I have indeed seen a great deal of cargo cult thinking in my years, and I fully agree that such consciousness is a Very Bad Thing. On a quick skim of lwpcook, I would also tend to agree that this is a good source of first reference to those utilities

Randal There's nothing wrong with Wiggins' advice. Take a look at "the first URL [he] posted earlier" and you'll find nothing about the HTTP::Request::Common module at all. In fact I can't find anywhere it tells you not to use the constructor directly - the nearest I've come across is in the POD f
