The latest LWP::UserAgent allows the behavior of redirect_ok to be overridden using the requests_redirectable method. 
$ua->requests_redirectable( ); # to read 
$ua->requests_redirectable( \@requests ); # to set 

  This reads or sets the object's list of request names that
  $ua->redirect_ok(...) will allow redirection for. By
  default, this is ['GET', 'HEAD'], as per RFC 2068. To
  change to include 'POST', consider: 
     push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';


$ua->redirect_ok($prospective_request) 

  This method is called by request() before it tries to follow a
  redirection to the request in $prospective_request. This should
  return a true value if this redirection is permissible. 

  The default implementation will return FALSE unless the method
  is in the object's requests_redirectable list, FALSE if the
  proposed redirection is to a "file://..." URL, and TRUE
  otherwise. 

Subclasses might want to override this. 

(This method's behavior in previous versions was simply to return
TRUE for anything except POST requests).
