Subject: Some wording fixes to the README and the Curl.pm POD
Hi, and thanks a lot for maintaining the WWW-Curl distribution! Here's a couple of minor typo and grammar fixes that I've made in the FreeBSD port quite some time ago, and somehow postponed submitting upstream :) Nothing urgent, just minor things here and there to help the overall user perception of reading the otherwise excellent documentation. Once again, thanks, and keep up the good work! G'luck, Peter
