For Perl, I've mentioned this elsewhere here but Mojo::UserAgent looks quite neat. This time with Mojolicious url - http://mojolicio.us/perldoc/Mojo/UserAgent

[kgtm]

Interesting things can happen with M::UA in a single line:

  use Mojo::UserAgent;
  print Mojo::UserAgent->new->get('http://freegeoip.net/json/8.8.8.8')->res->json->{country_name};

Very powerful.

Indeed. And there are many more nice examples in the cookbook: http://mojolicio.us/perldoc/Mojolicious/Guides/Cookbook#USER...

Also check out the command line interface which allows you todo things like this:

  $ mojo get http://mojolicio.us 'head > title'
