It depends on what you mean by "things". =) Apache & friends might be
happier (haven't tried myself), but things like Classic won't be happy
at all.

I believe LWP improperly uses Config.pm to find the install location and
thus puts it in /usr/bin/. Then apache/mod_perl come along and call
'head' in a shell, which finds /usr/bin/HEAD by searching the $PATH.
