Thanks all... I expect hiccups... just venting to help (future coders
and current self)... while we're on this topic

a) lwp-download.pl doesn't have a "use 6". Since Windows ignores the
shebang, it invokes perl5 which is registered to handle "pl" files,
and gives a bunch of syntax errors. If it did have "use 6" at the top,
then it would give a single more meaningful error... yet another
reason for module authors to put "use 6" in their code.

b) subject line should be "use 6.c", the "v" is depreciated... edited
