A new release mainly to fix some minor installation problems that some
has experienced after the unbundling of the HTML::* modules.  Changes
since 5.30 are:

 o  Makefile.PL now checks that HTML::HeadParser is present.

 o  Updated HTTP::Cookies according to draft-ietf-http-state-man-mec-08.txt
    It now supports the .local domain and value less 'port' attribute in
    the Set-Cookie2 header.

 o  HTTP::Headers update:
       - $h->content_type now always return a defined value
       - $h->header($field) will now concatenate multi-valued header
         fields with "," as separator in scalar context.

 o  HTTP::Request::Common update:
       - used to destroy the content of the hash/array arguments
         passed to its constructor functions.
       - allow a hash reference to specify form-data content.
       - you can override Content-Disposition for form-data now.
       - set content-encoding for files if applicable
       - default boundary string is now always "--000"

 o  LWP::UserAgent will not follow more than 13 redirects
    automatically.
