I can wait, I've got all the right stuff installed now. ;)

That chain is evident in the list of modules I sent (everything before
libwww-perl (which *is* LWP) is part of that chain). I guess the advantage
is that it will likely support weird stuff that might happen later, like
authenticating to sites, FTP URIs, etc.

It would certainly help to remove any platform-dependant libs. But if the
perl2exe stuff can be made to work and Sean packages that up for his
customers, then I suspect it will be easier to revert back to using all
sorts of CPAN stuff and listing the dependencies in a readme for the CVS
folk. :)
