** WWW::Metaweb **
WWW::Metaweb provides an interface to a Metaweb database instance. The best example currently is Freebase (www.freebase.com). Queries to a Metaweb are made through HTTP requests to the Metaweb API.
Qeueries are written in the Metaweb Query Language (MQL), using Javascript Object Notation (JSON). WWW::Metaweb allows you to write the actual JSON string yourself or provide a Perl array ref / hash ref structure to be converted to JSON.
As of this release Freebase required a (free) username and password to access, if any of this sounds interesting go check it out at: http://www.freebase.com
