I have made a new release available as:

   http://www.sn.no/libwww-perl/libwww-perl-5.06.tar.gz

The main reason for this release is to make LWP compatible with the
upcoming perl5.004.  It should now work with perl5.003_23 as well as
perl5.003 and perl5.002.

Changes since 5.05 are:

 o  URI::URL is now compatible with perl5.004 overloading.

 o  HTML::HeadParser makes X-Meta-Name headers for <meta> elements
    that does not specify an 'http-equiv' attribute.

 o  URI::URL::ftp does not die if Net::Domain is not installed and
    you ask for an anonymous username or password.

 o  WWW::RobotRules:  The robots.txt parser did not ignore comment lines
    as it should.

 o  LWP::Protocol::http is more forgiving towards servers that return
    bad responses.

 o  Allow "?" before search string in gopher URLs.

 o  LWP::Protocol::file did not escape funny filenames when generating
    HTML directory listings.

 o  LWP::Protocol::ftp now gets the Content-Encoding correct. 'CODE'
    content in PUT requests also work now.

 o  Relative locations in redirects did not work with URI::URL::strict.

 o  OS/2 portability patches from Ilya Zakharevich

 o  LWP::Authen::* patch from Doug MacEachern

 o  Support experimental data:- URLs

 o  Some tests (those using HTTP::Daemon) now die more gracefully if
    IO::* modules is not installed.

Gisle
