Ok, advice taken on board, docs written, tests concocted (using HTTP::Daemon, fork and sleep(1) which feels mildly naughty but seems to work) and as a result ... http://thegestalt.org/simon/perl/LWPx-TimedHTTP-1.0.tar.gz if people could have a look at this and let me know what they think then that'd be super, funky and, indeed, cool.
