Me too. That's why that silly module is still incomplete... ;-)

You could start with the Curl::easy module. By looking at it and reading
the h2xs and perlxstut manpages you'll get an idea of how to roll your
owd perl modules. The perlxs and perlguts manpages will give you further
information...

We would basically have to add a write-callback function that gets called from
libcurl and stores the output (that normally is written to a file) into an
internal buffer. After the end of the transfer, we should create a perl
variable and put the buffer contents into it.
