>The changes since 5.79 are:
>
> HTML::Form will allow individual menu entries to be disabled.
> This was needed to support <input type=radio disabled value=foo>
> and <select><option disabled>foo.
>
> HTML::Form now avoids name clashes between the <select> and
> <option> attributes.
>
> HTML::Form now implicitly close <select> elements when it sees
> another input or </form>. This is closer to the MSIE behaviour.
>
> HTML::Form will now "support" keygen-inputs. It will not
> calculate a key by itself. The user will have to set its
> value for it to be returned by the form.
>
> HTTP::Headers now special case field names that start with a
> ':'. This is used as an escape mechanism when you need the
> header names to not go through canonicalization. It means
> that you can force LWP to use a specific casing and even
> underscores in header names. The ugly $TRANSLATE_UNDERSCORE
> global has been undocumented as a result of this.
>
> HTTP::Message will now allow an external 'content_ref'
> to be set. This can for instance be used to let HTTP::Request
> objects pick up content data from some scalar variable without
> having to copy it.
>
> HTTP::Request::Common. The individual parts will no longer
> have a Content-Length header for file uploads. This improves
> compatibility with "normal" browsers.
>
> LWP::Simple doc patch for getprint.
> Contributed by Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

> LWP::UserAgent: New methods default_header() and
> default_headers(). These can be used to set up headers that
> area automatically added to requests as they are sent. This
> can for instance be used to initialize various Accept headers.
>
> Various typo fixes by Ville Skyttä <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
>
> Fixed test failure under perl-5.005.
>
> LWP::Protocol::loopback: This is a new protocol handler that
