Yes,  I do run with the -T flag, and the instructions for 'un-tainting' a
variable gave me the idea. So, I tried it without, and ...

GOOD THINKING, GISLE!  When I try without the taint flag, things work fine
(even without the 'untainting' code (hash marked) above).  This sounds more
like a bug in perl (5.001m) than in libwww-perl.  

Many thanks again.
