Furl
(0.32)
I tried this module for it's simplicity as a drop-in replacement for LWP::UserAgent. The API is very similar so I could just use it as a drop-in replacement for LWP.
Today, I used Furl for a small web scraping project - with quite disappointing results: Fetching ~ 50 URIs (non-parallel requests to a test server with quite deterministic response times) lasted ~ 30 seconds with Furl while LWP::Useragent did the same work in only 7 seconds.
So I better benchmark my code before using Furl.
