LWP is Gisle's and Martijn's opus magnum for HTTP programming.
See section 15 of the CPAN modules list.  I do not know whether
they consider it core includable.

It seems a very complete work.  It is essential for writing anything
having to do with web programming that is not CGI-related.

In the modules list, it is marked bmpO 

    b - beta (is this still right??)
    m - mailing list (cc'd)
    p - perl only, no C compiler (read: portable)
    O - object-based
