perldoc LWP::UserAgent

 

The following constructor methods are available:

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( %options )

    This method constructs a new LWP::UserAgent object and returns it. Key/value pair arguments may be provided to set up the initial state. The following options correspond to attribute methods described below:

       KEY                     DEFAULT
       -----------             --------------------
       agent                   "libwww-perl/#.##"
       from                    undef
       conn_cache              undef
       cookie_jar              undef
       default_headers         HTTP::Headers->new
       max_size                undef
       max_redirect            7

$ua->max_size( $bytes )

    Get/set the size limit for response content. The default is undef, which means that there is no limit. 
	If the returned response content is only partial, because the size limit was exceeded, then a "Client-Aborted" header will be added to the response. 
	The content might end up longer than max_size as we abort once appending a chunk of data makes the length exceed the limit. 
	The "Content-Length" header, if present, will indicate the length of the full content and will normally not be the same as length($res->content).

 my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( max_size => ...)
