I don't know about holy grails but there's SPORE [0] which lets you describe RESTful APIs and automatically generate clients for them in different languages. There's a Perl implementation [1][2] but also implementations for Ruby, Python, JS, Node.js among others. If Dave's use case involves an API which can be modelled as a SPORE specification then it might suit him well - it handles the http client and call semantics parts, handing back perl hashrefs of the returned data. /joel [0]: https://github.com/SPORE/specifications/blob/master/spore_description.pod [1]: https://metacpan.org/module/Net::HTTP::Spore [2]: http://lumberjaph.net/misc/2010/09/17/spore.html
