SPUG: Re: Sept. Meeting: Lightning Strikes SPUG!

[Richard Anderson]

I can jawbone about my CPAN module HTTP::WebTest, which tests remote URLs or
local web files.  Actually, I could talk about it for 10-15 minutes, but I
like the discipline of having to present the essential concepts behind the
module in 300 seconds.
