Yes. I have written a subclass of LWP::UserAgent that
replicates Netscape's behavior (ie. it will follow POST
redirects but it will turn them into GETs before doing so).
A lot of web applications rely on this
non-standard behavior in browsers, making it a de-facto
standard, so I think it would
be a good idea to integrate such a class to LWP. I have just
posted the code for it here
By the way, overriding redirect_ok() to make UserAgent follow
POST redirects is not enough, because redirects won't be
converted into GETs, as browsers do.
More on the subject at Redirect after POST behavior in
LWP::UserAgent differs from Netscape's.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
