I was thinking more as optional or recommended, but not as runtime,
thanks. And a strange one (circular): LWP::Protocol::https is runtime
dependency for LWP, but LWP is required dependency for
LWP::Protocol::https :-)

In other words, if you want LWP with HTTPS support, install
LWP::Protocol::https using cpan -i, and everything will be there.

That part, I'd already understood form the text in BLFS. For this part
it was clear enough.

Thank you very much, Randy.
