I don't really know. I guess you could dig in the CVS repository if
you really want to know. There is an entry in the change log for
release 5.18 (1997-12-12) that says:
Documented HTTP::Response->status_line method
> And why isn't the rest of the code using that? :)
Probably because it was written before that method showed up. The
status line printed by as_string is also slightly different.
Somewhat related: Based on a suggestion by Sean I would like to make
the all the 'is_*' methods return the status_line when TRUE. Does
anybody have a better suggestion for what a useful TRUE value could
be?
That should allow you to write code like this:
$res = $ua->get($url);
if (my $err = $res->is_error) { die $err }
instead of:
$res = $ua->get($url)
if ($res->is_error) { die $res->status_line }
Not really a huge win, but it does get rid of 1 method call.
