The others I understand, and I was being half-facetious (neglected to 
include the smiley). However I do wonder in general why HTTP access is 
not a part of the standard Perl install these days, and also why the 
validator is a remote service rather than a local part of the program. 
That seems to be both slow and insecure. I expected the validation code 
would have been part of the log validator, rather than delegated to a 
W3C service.
