As far as I followed the URI implementation, URI::_foreign is the used implementation-type, if there's no 'scheme' part (like http, https, ftp, ...).

URI::_foreign does indeed not implement a host method, onle URI::_server does.

This error occurs as ...Client::HTTP tries to get host, port and scheme from the request-uri.

Assuming that POE::Component::Client::HTTP is working, I'd say you can't remedy this error by updating any module, the error is either in the webpage, providing wrong URLs, or in the crawler, instantiating the client in the wrong way...

just my $0.02...
