"Are there any advantages for making simple web requests of using one over the other or does it come down to personal preference?"
It's always developer preference, but what dictates that preference is what matters. Which one is more compact, requiring the fewest number of dependencies? Is one of them core and the other isn't? Does the smallest, lightest one do everything I want it to do? Is it maintained regularly? Does it appear that the authors are responsive, dealing with issues in a reasonable time frame?
I mean for example: Both do what I need them to do. One is in core, the other isn't. One requires Moose and the other doesn't. etc, etc etc.
Look at the future of your project. Do you predict that you'll need features eventually that is in one distribution, but not the other?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
