Hello,

I have filed an RT bug related to HTTP::Status:

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=19243

I have posted the message below in case you prefer to read it over
email.

Cheers

The 304 response header means "not modified," however HTTP::Status is
coded so that 304 is false for is_success and true for is_redirect. This
is clearly not a redirect, and also I would argue it is_success.

There is more information on the 304 header at:

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.24

and
