New release to be found on CPAN now.  The major difference between
5.18 and 5.19 is that all communication is IO::Socket::INET based now.
The old LWP::Socket (and LWP::SecureSocket) are not part of the
distribution any more.

Changes since 5.18_05 are:


 o  HTML::Parser does not call $self->text() callback for empty text
    any more.

 o  LWP::Protocol::https was noisy when connections failed and the
    script was running with '-w' (noise inherited from IO::Socket::INET)

 o  $ua->use_alarm(BOOL) now gives a warning if running with -w
