Since I'm hoping to find time to test in the next few days, does
anyone have a link to the source for "Net::LWP" (presumably
Net-LWP-$version) at cpan or metacpan ?

I've gurgled, lots of other Net: or LWP: (libwww-perl) packages show
up, but I can't seem to find anything which matches.

Normally I build from source, so I don't need it, but for my pretest
binary install(s) I guess it would be a good idea to reduce the
burden on the servers.  For my source builds (specifically biber)
I'm using LWP-Protocol-https Net/SSLeay, IO-Socket-SSL, libwww-perl
with its required deps, and using the 'distro' (BLFS) certificates
instead of Mozilla::CA and none of those seem to provide any Net/LWP
directory or module unless I'm blind (possible).

But I know we have people who install the released binaries, so if
adding a dep for that will help, then so be it.

TIA
