  syntax defined files. We can take advantage of libcurl straight from within
  our Perl programs.
 
-<p>
- All you need to do is to install the WWW::Curl package and then you'll be
- able to use the Perl binding.
-
-<p><b>How to Install</b></br>
- Install curl and libcurl first. Make sure you install the libcurl.so library
- and curl's include files as well. (E.g. if you are using an rpm version of
- curl, you will need to install the curl-devel rpm before you can build
- the Perl binding.)
-
-<p>
- Run these commands:
- <pre>
-   cd [WWW::Curl-directory]
-   perl Makefile.PL
-   make
-   make test # optional, needs a test server
-   make install
-</pre>
-<p>The Makefile.PL uses <tt>curl-config</tt> and internal guesses to find curl.h, and 
-to then create a version of WWW::Curl which matches your installed libcurl version.</p>
-<p>Read and edit Makefile.PL if your curl.h file cannot be found.</p>
-<p><b>Binding documentation</b><br> The binding closely resembles the C
- one, so it should be OK to study the regular <a href="/libcurl/c/">libcurl
- C/C++ API docs</a> for most options.
-<p>
-Perl specific features are described in the <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~crisb/WWW-Curl/Easy.pm.in">WWW::Curl::easy POD documentation</a>.
-<p><b>Examples</b><br> Here's a first <a
- href="http://cool.haxx.se/cvs.cgi/curl-perl/examples/basicfirst.pl?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup">basic example</a>, please post your contributions!
-
-<p>Additional examples can be found in the 't/' directory of the distribution - the perl
-regression test scripts. These exercise many of curls' functions, such as uploads,
-callbacks and ssl, so are a useful starting point.
-</p>
-
-<p><b>Download</b><br>
-<p>From WWW::Curl v2.0 onwards, the releases of this module should be available from your
-local <a href="http://www.cpan.org/">CPAN</a> mirror site, in the <a href="http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/C/CR/CRISB/">/authors/id/C/CR/CRISB</a> directory, as well as from the main curl site.</p>

-<a href="WWW-Curl-2.0.tar.gz">WWW::Curl 2.0</a> (22kb) was released on Apr 22 2003.
-<p>The 'Curl::easy' module has been renamed to 'WWW::Curl' to follow CPAN naming
-guidelines for perl modules, in preparation for making this module also available
-via CPAN.</p>
-<p>All new scripts should use the 'WWW::Curl::easy' functions provided by this module.  
-This module replaces Curl-easy-1.35, but should fully support existing scripts
-through an included 'Curl::easy' compatability module.
-</p>
-
-<a href="Curl-easy-1.35.tar.gz">Curl::easy 1.35</a> (18Kb) was released on Sep 22, 2002. This fixed the prototype used by the progress callback function, which was previously returning garbage results for the upload and download statistics.
-<p>1.3x is an 'all-new' release series of Curl::easy, with substantially re-factored internal code.
-This release supports the 'Object Oriented' style of perl coding, which provides a simpler,
-less cluttered syntax, and fixes a number of limitations and bugs in earlier versions (such
-as the inability to reliably use more than one curl handle per process!).</p>
-<p>Version 1.35 is backwards compatible with previous releases, so you
-can keep using scripts with the older syntax, upgrading when you wish to benefit from
-a cleaner programming style.</p>
-<p>v1.35 should be considered the 'best' available version of Curl::easy, and should be used
-for all versions of curl from 7.8 onwards. This release is well tested, but the actual
-code is subtantially different from v1.21, so please report any problems. Feel free to
-use 1.21 in the meantime if you discover any major showstopper.</p>
-<p>There are a few new functions in this release over v1.21:<p>
-<ul>
-    <li>$curl-&gt;errbuf to return the errbuf in a more convenient (and handle/thread safe) way.
-    <li>Curl::easy-&gt;new() as a (preferred) alias to Curl::easy::init.
-    <li>Curl::easy::global_cleanup() to allow you to call this low level curl function if you need it.
-    <li>Now uses PerlIO for file input/output, so should be perl 5.8 ready.
-</ul>
-<p>Curl::easy 1.34 (19Kb) was released on Aug 7, 2002. This fixed an off-by-one bug in creating curl slists from perl arrays. <b>If you are using any 1.3x version of Curl::easy, it is recommended that you upgrade to at least this release.</b></p>
-<p>Curl::easy 1.33 (18Kb) was released on Aug 5, 2002. This fixed an important bug in read callbacks, introduced in 1.30, which resulted in junk data being sent if a perl read callback was used.
-<p>Curl::easy 1.32 (18Kb) was released on Aug 1, 2002. This fixed a minor build issue with curl-7.8 (as distributed with Redhat 7.2)</p>
-<p>Curl::easy 1.31 (18Kb) was released on July 16, 2002. This fixed minor build issues with 1.30 on some platforms with strict C compilers.</p>
-<p>Curl::easy 1.30 (18Kb) was released on July 15, 2002.</p>
-<p>
-<a href="Curl-easy-1.21.tar.gz">Curl::easy 1.21</a> (15Kb) was released on
-July 11, 2002.</p>
-<p>This release automatically adapts to the options in your libcurl version,
-and should support versions from 7.8.1 onwards, including 7.9,7.9.2 thru 7.9.8</p>
-<p>Version 1.21 integrates some minor build changes to assist in building on Win32,
-after feedback from Shawn Poulson. There are no functional changes.</p>
-<p>You should probably use v1.35 for any new development, unless you hit specific problems. Future
-minor issues in 1.21 may be fixed by further 1.2x releases, but any new features will be developed
-starting from v1.30.</p>
-<p></p>
-<p>Curl::easy 1.20 was released on February 16, 2002.</p>
-<p>Version 1.20 addressed some minor build issues reported with 1.1.9.
-The version numbering now follows the standard perl module numbering syntax,
-the same as CPAN modules (major.minor). Support for CURLOPT_STDERR was added.
-</p>
-<p>Curl::easy 1.1.9 was released on January 18, 2002.</p>
-<p>This release automatically adapts to the options in your libcurl version,
-and supports versions from 7.8.1 onwards.
