I totally understand the need for a smaller HTTP module which LWP::Simple provides.

Just in case you were unaware, LWP::Simple is just a wrapper around LWP::UserAgent. The "Simple" refers to the simplified interface only. In using LWP::Simple instead of LWP::UserAgent you are actually consuming more RAM, not less and loading more modules, not fewer.

Update: Edited for clarity.

    Thank you hippo - I did know that LWP::Simple is a wrapper but I hadn't extrapolated that to understand the implications you have pointed out. Obvious really but easily missed (at least it is by me).

    I am using HTTP::Tiny for the Raspberry Pi project mainly because this module is core. Having used it for this, I think it will be my first choice when I need simple web access.
