Dear Monks,

A quick question. My LWP::Simple autodeflates .tar.gz files. How do I tell it to stop doing that?

$ ls -ln /cpan/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.060.tar.gz 
-rw-r--r-- 1 1000 1000 236107 Jan  8 03:02 /cpan/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.060.tar.gz

$ perl -MLWP::Simple -MFile::Slurp -e'write_file("Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.060.tar.gz", get("file:/cpan/authors/id/P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.060.tar.gz"))'; ls -ln Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.060.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 1000 1000 952320 Jan 31 11:32 Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.060.tar.gz
