Not sure why you agressivly attack me.

But sorry. This was more than a decade ago, I've done dozens and dozens of projects since then with Java, C, Ruby, Python, Clojure, Scala, Javascript, Coffescript and Typescript and more, so I can't remember 'exactly' what libaries I was using more than 10 years ago in some Perl projects.

"Now you're addressing completely different"

I beg to differ, in my book credit card processing during e-commerce checkou and accessing backend services with HTTP are in the problem domain of 'web development', but it might be different for your 'web applications'.

I'm not attacking, i'm trying to figure out your case, because i occasionally hear people voicing a sentiment as in your original post, but never with actual detail. I'm just curious and wish to know more about this. :)

And sure, i didn't really expect you to remember what you did find. But while your response of "web development" does include credit card and http stuff, it only does so roughly. Many many web apps don't use either.

That said, at that time both LWP and Business::CreditCard were in what looks like sensible states: https://metacpan.org/release/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.803 https://metacpan.org/release/IVAN/Business-CreditCard-0.28

Did the search interface at the time not surface them for you, or were they incompatible with what you were trying to do?
