=begin pod =head1 NAME fakeLWP - a Perl 6 subset of LWP (Library for Web in Perl) =head1 DESCRIPTION Perl 5 LWP is very helpful when writing Web client and even some Web server software. This is a Perl 6 equivalent. The right way to build LWP uses socket functions such as connect(). The Rakudo implementation currently (2009-03-04) lacks these functions and needs a major I/O overhaul before making the right way possible. At present the only solution is to enlist external utilities such as wget and netcat to perform the I/O, calling them via run(). Initially this project will consist of fakeLWP::Simple for a quick win. SEE ALSO fakeDBI, pugs/ext/libwww-perl/lib/LWP/Simple.pm =head1 LICENSE No. Others do too much of that already. This code is to scratch the itch -Ofun and to hopefully be obsoleted ASAP. =end pod
