perl, version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris
SunOS 5.6
URI 1.04
LWP 5.46

With the install of this recently release URI/LWP combo, the GET perl
script fails on ftp protocol requests with the following message:

       Can't locate object method "path_components" via package "URI::ftp"

Syntax of a failing request looks like this:

       GET ftp://some-site.com/pub/file.tar.gz

GET with http request works as expected.

Peace.
