This problem was fixed in the libwww-perl CVS repository in February, http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/libwww-perl/lwp5/lib/HTTP/Message.pm?r1=1.56&r2=1.57.
Unfortunately I've not found the time to roll another official libwww-perl release since then. BTW, the patch above did find it's way into ActivePerl 813. Regards, Gisle
