Summary: LWP::Simple head

Initial Comment:
In 5.8.0a2, LWP::Simple's head function always fails.

Code previously run under 5.2.0r4 failed without exception until 
head() was replaced with get() (less efficient but a workaround).

Relevant lines:

   use LWP::Simple qw(get head);
               if (head($url)) { ...

head() always fails. get() works.
