Well merlyn gave the best answer, but you can actually
subclass off of LWP if you need to. What you can do is
create a new protocol. The package-name needs to be of
the form LWP::Protocol::foo, and it needs to inherit from
LWP::Protocol. To get a sample, take a look at how
LWP::Protocol::https is implemented, subclassing off of
http.
None of which you really need to know unless you are trying to figure out how LWP works, or are trying to write a new scheme. ObRandomThought: Having read the code, I am wondering why the heck they have the hack to pass news to nntp in the implementor method of LWP::Protocol. Why not just have a trivial LWP::Protocol::news module that just inherits from LWP::Protocol::nntp? In reply to RE (tilly) 1: to post, or not to post...
