Have you looked at the 'tests' in the t/ subdirectory of the Curl::easy
distribution? These cover pretty much every aspect of the interface, and
should serve as pretty reasonable examples of what's possible with libcurl
using this interface. You will need some understanding of subroutine
callbacks and the basics of http, as you would if using libcurl from a 'C'
application.

As Daniel said:

Curl::easy is a thin wrapper over the libcurl interface - it's designed to
match libcurl as closely as possible. (So close, in fact, that it generally
doesn't need any updating for newer libcurl versions).

Please ask if you have specific questions regarding Curl::easy. There are a
couple of specific limitations you might bump into (no 'multi interface' yet,
no 'curl forms' interface yet), but other than that, anything you can access
through curl options and curlinfo interfaces should be exactly as described
in the libcurl documentation.

I deliberately avoid repeating all the options in the Curl::easy
documentation, because with the rate of libcurl development, it would be both
a wasteful duplication and out of date very quickly.

I'm happy to addd documentation and examples to the Curl::easy distribution,
if anyone has useful or relevant application code, please fire away....
