Re: problems with libwww-perl 5.75

[Steve Kelem]

I know I can get around the problem manually (although extracting the 
README file that is supposedly from 1970 is a bit more work), it would 
be good to fix the date on the README file and make the aliases not the 
default or give them names that don't conflict with Cygwin the 
"built-in", head, on the case-insensitive Micros**t operating system.

Please reply directly to me in addition to the group, as I'm not a 
subscriber to libwww.  Thanks.

2. The Makefile.PL wants to make aliases called GET HEAD and POST.
However, on Windows, alas, HEAD is the same as head.
Can you either, (a) not make the aliases by default, or (b) for windows
make different aliases?
   

This problem also affected previous versions of OS X, though I never
did test it on Panther. I do recall, however, being asked whether I
wanted to create each of those aliases.
