I should have posted a "solved it" message before I left last night.
Someone on the activestate list reminded me about
perldoc perlfunc
and I read the section on "our" from that, but couldn't really figure
out how to apply it to my error. So I went back to the URI perldoc and
re-read it, and lo and behold, it has a typo, which is why I was getting
the warning about single reference:
URI::URL::ABS_REMOTE_LEADING_DOTS
should have been
URI::ABS_REMOTE_LEADING_DOTS
That way, I'm properly referring to an existing switch in the (current
version of the) LWP module.
Anyway, I went over to cpan and posted a bug report on the perldoc. Hope
I did it right, it's my first bug report over there.
Thanks.
