Well, if you can find something that nicely describes "perl spider guts",
then we could use that. ;-)

BTW, please be sure to mention that administrivia requests should
go to the <libwww-perl-request@ics.uci.edu> address, whenever you
send out an announcement.  I need to update the info file again to
include the Perl5 site, and will probably move the whole list over
to w3.org if we ever get a stable mail system -- using SmartLists
is a helluvalot better than adding people by hand.
