LWP::Simple is a good example, since if you're downloading .tar.gz's, you'll
want not LWP-Simple-1.23.tar.gz but rather libwww-perl-4.5678.tar.gz (or
something like that), which may not be immediately obvious. Similarly with
Net-SMTP-1.23.tar.gz, which is actually in libnet-4.56.tar.gz.
(Don't know whether CPAN.pm knows this for you. It may.)
Cheers,
