You are correct. I interviewed the sysadmin that called me for help with this
building mod_perl, and he fessed up to FTP'ing into CPAN and just grabbing
the "latest version" - i.e. the 5.53_95 tarball. He didn't use CPAN.pm
after all.
I couldn't get CPAN.pm to fetch the dev tarball either. I just figured he
was too new to Perl and Solaris (a former MCSE) to grab a tarball and
install. Turns out, he was too new. He just didn't know about CPAN.pm!
Anyway, I missed your (Cliff's) one-line patch to LWP::UserAgent.pm and
thought it was the more extensive earlier patch. My vote is for Cliff's
patch to just 'use URI::URL;' in LWP::UserAgent.pm.
If you don't feel like patching, remember to export
PERL_HTTP_URI_CLASS=URI::URL instead.

Then you shouldn't be having the missing URI::URL problem in mod_perl.
Or has the "real" 5.53 been fubar'd since April or so, and nobody noticed
until now?
