No such luck for SuSE 8.1.  All the sites (mail lists/dox)
I've found for LWP/libwww-perl (via google) seem to end about
mid 2001.  Is anyone maintaining this any more?  If not,
does anyone know where I might find a bit of help?  If not
perhaps this isn't the best thing to be basing MythTV
on if it's not going to be supported for new OS updates.
