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.
