Sounds sensible. Especially the URL should be obvious. I'm not sure
about the HTTP part.

There is a URL module alpha on

http://web.nexor.co.uk/users/mak/doc/libwww-perl5/WWW/URL.pm

The rest of libwww-perl5 is currently being designed/implemented.
It aims to be a client-side HTTP gateway to HTTP, File, etc.,
impleented as modules under WWW/*.pm

I see the HTML bits as separate.

I would say so, but the distinction between clients and servers
seems to be fading these days :-)
