The libwww-perl-5b5 package has now been released.  The package is
available from these locations:

 http://www.oslonett.no/home/aas/perl/www/
 ftp://ftp.pasteur.fr/pub/Perl/CPAN/pml/byauthor/GAAS/
 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/mod/pml/byauthor/GAAS/
 ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/PERL/perl5.0/CPAN/pml/byauthor/GAAS/

Libwww-perl is a library of Perl packages which provides a simple
and consistent programming interface (API) to the World-Wide Web.

There are actually two versions of libwww-perl: one for Perl4, and one
for Perl5. Both have a similar architecture, loosely based on the CERN
Library of Common Code.  The latest perl4 version of libwww-perl is
libwww-perl-0.40 and is available from:

 http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/websoft/libwww-perl/
 ftp://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/websoft/libwww-perl/

The Perl5 version is a complete rewrite for Perl5: the code is
organised in Modules, provides an Object Oriented API, is updated for
the latest HTTP and URL specification, and offers some extended
functionality.

The best place to discuss these packages is on the <[email protected]>
mailing list.  You can join the mailing list by sending a message to
