I appreciate the example and all, I'm just struggling to figure out where and
how to put it on the site.

The examples in the regular curl package are all examples on how to use the
libcurl API and I see your example not primarily showing how to use libcurl
but how to embed libcurl-using code into a perl program.

Maybe I'm just being silly, but I can see a difference and there's also the
little fact that we provide examples in plain C as of today and starting to
add examples for all the world's languages and environments seem like... not
suitable for the curl release tarball but instead meant to be put on a
suitable web page.
