Got it now. Not just looking at the line to see what was up before
reporting the issue didn't help, sorry for being a bit dumb :)

Now I've had a proper wade in out of my depth.... the update uses a
specific user agent to make the update URL provide the current release
of get_iplayer? The odd entries in your httpd logs will be me trying to
figure out if the web server is saying the text format is ISO-8859-15,
or if it is when perl writes the file (something I would probably
struggle to figure out).

I'd like to say cheers for the plentiful comments in the code, that
does help the perl-blind :)
