The LWP library probably uses Perl's $installprefix (as specified
during Configure time.) as the directory to install into. If perl is
/usr/bin/perl, then HEAD will be /usr/bin/HEAD. If perl is
/usr/local/perl/5.6.1/bin/perl, then HEAD will be
/usr/local/perl/5.6.1/bin/HEAD.

Maybe Gisle should just check if there is already a program called
"HEAD" before he overwrites it.
