This is still up in the air. I think this will probably end up doing a
GET via the http handler on the webpage specified. That seems the most

What does that mean? When the handler is invoked, what does it see?
$fh = open myhttp "http://www.perl.com", "fred", "barney";
Does that result in a call like this?
myhttp::open("http://www.perl.com", "fred", "barney");

# Open a remote webpage
$http = open http "http://www.perl.com/", GET;

1) The URL says that it's a http resource, so why do we have
to tell open to use a http handler?
a) Allows custom handlers:
open myhttp
