A new version of libwww-perl-5 is now available on CPAN:

  CPAN/modules/by-authors/Gisle_Aas/libwww-perl-5b6.tar.gz

This is a bug-fix release.  No new features are added.

Changes since 5b5 are:

o  Installation should work better for those that still runs
   perl4 as 'perl'.  The mirror script is not installed by
   default.

o  LWP::Socket::_getaddress() Numerical IP adresses did not work.

o  LWP::Socket::pushback() did not work.  This also avoids the bad
   pp_select() core dump from perl.

o  LWP::IO now also selects on socket exceptions.

o  HTML::Parse:  Ignore <!DOCTYPE ...> regardless of case.  Some
   bad insertElement() calls made infinite loops.

o  The uri.t test works better for places where /tmp is a sym-link.

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