It is documented in the LWP manpage (the first reference in the SEE
ALSO section of LWP::Simple).

In the "FTP Requests" sections it says:

       The library supports ftp ASCII transfer mode by specifying the "type=a"
       parameter in the URL. It also supports transfer of ranges for FTP
       transfers using the "Range" header.
