Re: how to postback to a different URL than the one making the request?

That sounds like a "response".  A "request" is what the client sends to 
the server.  You can request a GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc.

Do what?  Send data or parse xml?  LWP::UserAgent will indeed send data, 
that's what request() does.

Unfortunately, how HTTP works doesn't seem to be common knowledge 
because CGI has only ever used a very, very small subset of HTTP.  As 
soon as you start dealing with web services, you really have to go back 
to the basics and understand the forgotten verbs.
