LWP (for "Library for WWW in Perl", also called libwww-perl) is a set of Perl modules that allow requests to be sent to the World Wide Web. It's maintained by Gisle Aas.
It provides an application programming interface to an HTTP client as well as a number of HTML utilities, and standard objects to represent HTTP requests and responses.
