I said I thought it was fixed - to be honest I used the workaround of making a copy of HEAD and linking it into /usr/bin a goodly while ago - and have suffered no ill effects

Has the problem with CPAN overwriting /usr/bin/head with /usr/bin/HEAD
been solved?
yes I believe so, thought this is one of the well documented problems I was referring to, the other being the LC_ALL environment variable.
I don't think it has been solved. ExtUtils::MakeMaker still defaults to using $Config{installscript} as the install location, and:
% /usr/bin/perl5.6.0 -V:installscript installscript='/usr/bin';
I see in the Changes log a comment that this has been fixed in LWP, but I don't see it in the code for libwww-perl-5.69.
