Missing file

Hello,

I'm trying to install libwww-perl-5.41 from the CPAN distribution.
After first running make I got several messages about missing modules.

After fetching and installing HTTP-Parser-2.22, MIME-Base64-2.10, 
libnet-1.0606, URI-1.00 and URI-URL-4.16 everything seems ok. make test 
complains about some problems with RobotUA but I don't intend to use that.

When I try to do something very simple:

------ Perl ------
	my ($ua, $req, $resp);
	
	# create the user agent
	$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
	$ua->agent('Mozilla/4.5 [en] (Win95; I)');
	
	# the URL we really want
	$req = new HTTP::Request GET => $THE_URL;

	$resp = $ua->request($req, $TMP_FILE);
	die "request for " . $req->url . " failed.\n" . $resp->status_line . 
"\n\n" . $resp->headers_as_string . "\n" unless $resp->is_success;

------ lreP ------

I die with $resp->status_line containg the following message:

Can't locate auto/URI/URL/http/path_query.al in @INC (@INC contains: 
/usr/local/perl5/lib/IP22-irix/5.00401 /usr/local/perl5/lib 
/usr/local/perl5/lib/site_perl/IP22-irix /usr/local/perl5/lib/site_perl .)

Indeed path_query.al isn't there (or anywhere else).

I use an earlier version of libwww-perl on a WindowsNT and Windows95 
machine, which run the script without problems. path_query.al does also 
not exists on those machines.

Can you tell me what the problem is (and possibly how I can solve it)?

Thanks,

Freek Segers.
