I posted this on perl-qa as I belive you are reading that an will respond to it quickly. Actually I was surprised there were no other reports of this - only now did I notice this report

I posted it here as I'd like to get the opinion of a wider audience, not just of the perl-qa list and I'd like to draw the attention to the general case not the specific of your module. In the original post I even mentioned that I don't think petdance has any bad intentions or anything like this. But then it seemed so obvious that I removed this part. For one thing it was not personal and if it seemed like that then I apologize.

Anyway, if that takes a popular uprising to change this in your module and in libwww-perl (which is also failing now for similar reasons) then maybe it should happen.

In any case I am against gnashing of teeth.
