Does anyone know of a 'written' script that use the LWP and supports:
-url timeouts
-proxies
-firewalls
-update only if modified
-recursive ingests
-https
-cgi (post/get)

I am currently using webget.pl for numerous tasks.  I now have added 
requirements that are directly supported by LWP and not by webget.  I see 
the LWP package is extensive and actually writing it may not be that 
difficult, but this doesn't seem too far-fetched that one is already 
written.

thanks in advance,
al
