Since I am going on vacation now, I though it would be a good idea to
make a new release of libwww-perl :-) I will not be able to read or
answer any mail for the next 3-4 weeks.
Changes since 5.00 are:
o Updated ftp protocol module to be compatible with Net::FTP
version 2.00 (the version found in libnet-1.00)
o New HTML parser module called HTML::LinkExtor
o Various documentation typo corrections. Most of these contributed
by Bob Dalgleish.
o HTML::HeadParser updates 'Content-Base' instead of 'Base'. It also
updates the 'Link' header based on <link ...>
o HTTP::Headers and HTTP::Status updated according to
draft-ietf-http-v11-spec-06
o HTTP::Headers can now use "_" as alternative to "-" in field names.
o HTTP::Response::base now looks for 'Content-Base',
'Content-Location' and 'Base' headers.
o Avoid warning in LWP::MediaTypes if $ENV{HOME} is not defined.
o The new $ua->parse_head() method can be used to turn off
automatic initialization of response headers from the <HEAD>
section of HTML documents.
o Added eq() method for URI::URL objects
o The HTML::Formatter recovers even if a handle method is not defined
for all tags found during traversal
Hakon Ardo's changes to RobotRules & friends is not part of this
release. There has also been reported some conflicts between Net::FTP
and LWPs use of alarm() which is not addressed.

Gisle.
