libwww-perl v0.40 question

Perhaps I'm one of the few people still using the perl4 libraries, but
what can I say...
I am running into a weird situation running this package on an SGI
machine. If I use it within a script like Brooks's "w3new" tool, it
seems to run OK. If I just use it as "get", or in another script I
wrote today, I get an immediate error:
--
HTTP/1.0 502 Bad Response
mime-version: 1.0
content-type: text/html
content-length: 233
date: Tue, 23 May 1995 01:24:27 GMT
<HEAD><TITLE>502 Bad Response</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H1>502 Bad Response</H1>
The following request could not be satisfied by this client:
<PRE>
GET http://my.host:80/ [hostname omitted]
No response.
</PRE></BODY>
--
The funny thing is, the "no response" comes back immediately, not
after a timeout, and the routine that is supposedly called for a
timeout doesn't seem to get called. Instead, reading <FS> into $_ is
failing with an undefined $_.
This is with perl 4.036, running on IRIX 5.2.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It's gotta be something Real
Dumb but I'm feeling Dumb and Dumber now and am hoping it will ring a
bell for one of the libwww gurus.
