Interesting discussion, I was just trying, in a somewhat more civil
manner than "RTFM", to merely point out that the original poster hadn't

HI Randal,
Although not in the Perl culture, I have indeed seen a great deal of cargo cult

An Example
This example shows how the user agent, a request and a response are
represented in actual perl code:
# Create a user agent object
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
