    Summary: subclass of LWP::UserAgent that protects you from harm
    Description: 
    The "LWPx::ParanoidAgent" is a class subclassing "LWP::UserAgent",
    but paranoid against attackers.  It's to be used when you're fetching
    a remote resource on behalf of a possibly malicious user.
    
    This class can do whatever "LWP::UserAgent" can (callbacks, uploads from
    files, etc), except proxy support is explicitly removed, because in
    that case you should do your paranoia at your proxy.
    
    Also, the schemes are limited to http and https, which are mapped to
    "LWPx::Protocol::http_paranoid" and
    "LWPx::Protocol::https_paranoid", respectively, which are forked
    versions of the same ones without the "_paranoid".  Subclassing them
    didn't look possible, as they were essentially just one huge function.
    
    This class protects you from connecting to internal IP ranges (unless you
    whitelist them), hostnames/IPs that you blacklist, remote webserver
    tarpitting your process (the timeout parameter is changed to be a global
    timeout over the entire process), and all combinations of redirects and
    DNS tricks to otherwise tarpit and/or connect to internal resources.
