        Point for documentation (lots of examples and cookbook). But the
        recipes in the cookbook currently don't really entice me to use the
        module. Let's see: <br><br>1) batch file rename: it's much simpler
        to use 'rename' or 'perlmv' utility. Or, it's much shorter to just
        use plain perl like 'for (grep {-f} &lt;*&gt;) { rename $*,
        s/.log$/.txt/r }'. <br><br>2) recursively remove a directory tree:
        it's much shorter to just use 'File::Path::remove*tree()'.
        <br><br>3) increment a counter file: no locking (it's classic 1990's
        counter.cgi race condition all over again). Take a look at, for
        example, The Perl Cookbook chapter 7.11. Or I think one of Randal
        Schwartz's articles. <br><br>As an alternative, one can also take a
        look at Path::Tiny.

There are a few use-cases where this would be useful (mostly, to access https websites in the absence of required perl library like LWP::Protocol::https), but it would be more useful to provide an API that is already familiar to Perl programmers. Tha...

<br><br>* round() uses Number::Format, note that rounding number using this module is hundreds of times slower than using sprintf().
