  My question was prompted by general laziness.  I guess I could just paste
the list into my package, but that defeats the purpose of OO, doesn't it?

  Hhmmm. . . After reviewing the HTTP & HTML specs, I'm a little confused.
I was trying to parse META info into an HTML::TreeBuilder object.  But it
appears that %header_order is response header specific, HTTP-EQUIV type
stuff right?  Is it appropriate to use HTTP::Headers for META tag stuff?  If
not, did I miss a module that handles <HEAD> elements?
