This is a known problem with the 5.004_04 _trial_ release.  Wait for
the real thing.  The next release of libwww-perl will be immune
against this problem as well.

The reason this bug shows up is that perl now returns a list with a
single element for split(/regex/, "", 2) and it used to return an
empty list.
