Let's suppose you want to find the title of things on the web. This seems like a really simple request, just get() the object, parse for a title tag, you're done. There are several problems with this approach: - What if the resource is on a very slow server? Do we wait for ever or what? - What if the resource is a 900 gig file? You don't want to download that. - What if the page title isn't in a title tag, but is buried in the HTML somewhere? - What if the resource is an MP3 file, or a word document or something? This module attempts to solve this problem. WWW: https://metacpan.org/release/URI-Title
