Libwww-perl-5b6 can be obtained from <URL:http://www.sn.no/libwww-perl/> and
from CPAN <URL:ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/CPAN.html>.
In order to port the library you will probably have to take a look at
how LWP::Socket and LWP::IO use the perl Socket module and perl
network functions. A rumour says that that NTperl lacks the Socket.pm
module, it that correct?
Please, keep <libwww-perl@ics.uci.edu> informed about what was needed
to make it run on NT.
