This sounds like an excellent module, and I'm definitely interested in
it. In fact, I'd like to replace Client::HTTP with it if you have the
time to finish it.

I tried it with https, ftp, and http protocols simultaneously, and it
seems to have hanged. I'm using 5.005_03 at the moment, so maybe it
works better in newer perls. Do the https and ftp protocols also run
without blocking?
This looks like a great start for a general-purpose user agent.
Please keep me posted on its development.
