Odd. Doing this: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use LWP::Simple;

my @list;
foreach (head $ARGV[0]) {
    push @list, $_;
    print "Undefined\n" unless defined $_;
}

print scalar @list, "\n";
my ($content_type, $document_length, $modified_time, $expires, $server
+) = @list;

print ">>$content_type<< ";
print ">>$document_length<< ";
print ">>$modified_time<< ";
print ">>$expires<< ";
print ">>$server<<\n";

doesn't give me any undefineds, and it shows the length of @list as 4 items. There's no expiration set, at least for the web pages I tried. I would call this a bug in the documentation or the behavior of the module (as I tried it for IIS and Apache).
