Re: Missing CPAN modules

Hey.  If you can wait a couple of days (Monday?), I'll check in a 
version of Playlist.pm devoid of addt'l CPAN dependencies that also 
does (recursive) redirection of streams.  I've got it working now, 
but want to test it a bit.  Full explanation later.

The problem is that LWP is a very long, stringy dependency chain, and 
it's really not necessary (in fact, doesn't even work for revealing 
redirection).

I *would* like to change the URL parsing code to use URI::URL, which 
is only two platform-independent modules, but will probably do that 
in a separate step.

Sokay?

Eric.
