I used it from the command line for initial diagnostics, then used the
WWW::Curl::Easy module in a program. The interface isn't as intuitive
as LWP, but it is still pretty slick.
It ran using a threaded version of Perl 5.8.8, each new thread consumed
about 10 MB of memory (I created a new WWW::Curl::Easy object for each
thread). It was significantly faster than the forking implementation I
wrote using Parallel::ForkManager, and I was able to spawn about 200
threads before I ran out of memory on a 2 gig machine
