It shouldn't happen, and i don't know any Perl version where it happens.

But the example there isn't minimal at all (why load LWP::something? that could do some dire magic) and not runnable for me (what does it read from STDIN?), so it's hard to tell.

And I'm not sure what happens on windows when you try to write binary data to a text file handle. (Linux doesn't have that distinction, and I don't use windows for programming, so I don't know what the expected outcome is. I remember one unhappy foray into windows programming where I spent several hours debugging a missing "b" in a call to open when reading files).
