Wget is also available for Win32 therefore I have experience with it. I have to tell you that when the fetch is complicated ( https + authentication + cookies + form posting + many redirections ) it seems more stable and business like than the LWP module. For me it was much more difficult to get it right with the LWP module than with wget. In one particular case I could not get it right ( the login was a success - I know because the cookies generated were correct - but somewhere in the chain the redirection was lost and I failed to receive the welcome login page - the same worked with wget ).
If it comes to a simple 'GET' the LWP module proved to be perfect for me (it almost never freezes, the timeout works all right).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
