Package: libwww-perl
Version: 5.805-1
Severity: normal

Hi there,

When running mirror() or getstore() with a target directory that doesn't
exist, they return 500, when they should return the HTTP response code.

Attached is a small script that shows this effect. I'm not sure if the
perl module or the documentation should be updated to explain this, but
it's currently confusing for users.

Cheers,
Neil
