HTTP::Simple is a wrapper of HTTP::Tiny that provides simplified functions for performing HTTP requests in a similar manner to LWP::Simple, but with slightly more useful error handling. For full control of the request process and response handling, use HTTP::Tiny directly. IO::Socket::SSL is required for HTTPS requests with HTTP::Tiny. Request methods that return the body content of the response will return a byte string suitable for directly printing, but that may need to be decoded for text operations. The HTTP::Tiny object used by these functions to make requests can be accessed as $HTTP::Simple::UA (for example, to configure the timeout, or replace it with a compatible object like HTTP::Tinyish). The JSON encoder used by the JSON functions defaults to a JSON::PP instance, and can be accessed as $HTTP::Simple::JSON. WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/HTTP-Simple
