That is "correct" IMHO. Calling 

    $url->frag(undef);

Reads better (says what you are doing) and works:

perl -x /home/road17/nick/msgs/store/msgs.96.06/mju96Jun03.1615.71
before: url->frag = foo
before: url->abs = http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mju/index.html#foo
after : url->frag(undef)
after : url->abs = http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mju/index.html
