}}}
This suppose that the file occurs in a line of the form:
{{{

quotes should be there. And in examples from internet, some have quotes,
and some haven't...

Fetch-0.52/lib/File/Fetch.pm], is not set up for https urls. But the
default download site is [https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-
seconds.list], which make the download hang. Another one is given in a

seconds.list], but this one works, if used in place of the other...
