...is on its way to CPAN.  Changes since 5.33 are:

 o  LWP::Protocol::ftp now try to use the MDTM command to support
    the Last-Modified response header as well as
    If-Modified-Since in requests.  Original and final patch by
    Charles C. Fu <ccwf@bacchus.com>

 o  $url->path_components will not escape "." any more.

 o  WWW::RobotRules will now work for Mac text files too (lines delimited
    by CR only).  Patch by Olly Betts <olly@muscat.co.uk>

 o  lwp-rget support <area ..> links too.

Regards,
Gisle


   Release alpha-0.22

   LWP::Conn::FILE now works on systems where getpwuid() and getgrgid()
   do not (i.e. WinNT).  Patch by Blair Zajac <blair@gps.caltech.edu>.

   LWP::Conn::HTTP and LWP::Conn::FTP now use LWP::Conn::_Connect to
   to the connection establishment.

   LWP::Conn::_Connect really works now (I think!)

   The IO::EINPROGRESS hack is now more forgiving.  This hopefully means
   that we work on WinNT too.

   Release alpha-0.21

   Applied patches by Blair Zajac <blair@gps.caltech.edu>.
   Use the POSIX module to obtain EINPROGRESS unless you have a IO
   module that already support this.  Avoid some undef warnings.

   Release alpha-0.20

   LWP::Conn::FTP should work pretty well by now.  We support HEAD,
   GET, PUT, DELETE and TRACE methods.

   LWP::Authen had not been updated to newest URI::Attr interface
   changes.

   LWP::EventLoop->activity can be used to avoid having a socket
   time out even when there isn't really any activity going on.
   Needed because the FTP command socket can be non-active for
   long periods of time.
