Bug in applet handling? (LWP 5.32)

When HTML::LinkExtor extracts the link for the applet code, it doesn't
use the codebase.  Eks:

  applet code http://www.games.no/snakk/IRC.class
    codebase http://www.games.no/chat/InReachChat/

The code should have been "http://www.games.no/chat/InReachChat/IRC.class".

I use the following program, based on the manual page of
HTML::LinkExtor and LWP::UserAgent to test it.

  require HTML::LinkExtor;
  require LWP::UserAgent;

  $url = "http://www.games.no/snakk/";

  $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
  $request = new HTTP::Request('GET', $url);
  $response = $ua->request($request, "index.html");

  $p = HTML::LinkExtor->new(\&cb, $url);
  sub cb {
    my($tag, %links) = @_;
    print "$tag @{[%links]}\n";
  }
  $p->parse_file("index.html");

  unlink "index.html";

This must be a bug in HTML::LinkExtor.  This makes checkbot fail on
the given page.
