No. The 'Makefile.PL' will prompt for which programs to install, with a default of yes. The lwp-download programs is certainly still there. $ perl Makefile.PL </dev/null This package comes with some sample programs that I can try to install in /local/perl/ap633/bin. Note that you can avoid these questions by passing the '-n' option to 'Makefile.PL'. Do you want to install lwp-request? [y] y Do you want to install lwp-mirror? [y] y Do you want to install lwp-rget? [y] y Do you want to install lwp-download? [y] y The lwp-request program will use the name it is invoked with to determine what HTTP method to use. I can set up alias for the most common HTTP methods. These alias are also installed in /local/perl/ap633/bin. Do you want to install the GET alias? [y] y Do you want to install the HEAD alias? [y] y Do you want to install the POST alias?
