Net::Curl::Compat -- compatibility layer for WWW::Curl

Net::Curl::Compat lets you use Net::Curl in applications and modules that normally use WWW::Curl. There are several ways to accomplish it:
Execute an application through perl with -MNet::Curl::Compat argument:
-MNet::Curl::Compat
perl -MNet::Curl::Compat APPLICATION [ARGUMENTS]
Add this line before including any WWW::Curl modules:
BEGIN { eval { require Net::Curl::Compat; } }
This will try to preload Net::Curl, but won't fail if it isn't available.
Add those lines before all the others that use WWW::Curl:
BEGIN { eval { require WWW::Curl; } require Net::Curl::Compat if $@; }
This will try WWW::Curl first, but will fallback to Net::Curl if that fails.
If you want to write compatible code, DO NOT USE Net::Curl::Compat during development. This module hides all the incompatibilities, but does not disable any of the features that are unique to Net::Curl. You could end up using methods that do not yet form part of official WWW::Curl distribution.
