LWP 6 requires 5.8.8

I notice that the new LWP 6 requires perl 5.8.8.

I tried changing the requirement in the Makefiles.PL for the various distributions to 5.008007 manually. All the tests passed in perl 5.8.7.*

So would you consider lowering the minimum version?


* Except File::Listing and HTTP::Message, but those are other issues I will report separately. They fail under later versions, too.
