Understood and agreed. But all the development work I'm doing is with
5.79 (and I've reviewed quite a bit of the current LWP codebase lately,
it should be in good shape), qa-dev currently has 5.76 and v.w.o has
5.64. As long as the production version will be using something that we
test 3.9.3 with, it's fine with me. Well, as long as it's newer than
5.60, excluding 5.76 ;)
Updating the system LWP on v.w.o would of course need the validator to
be tested with the new one as well. But if need be, one or even both of
{validator,checklink} can be using their "own" LWP installation,
basically it's just a matter of unpacking the LWP dist tarball, doing a
SetEnv to the libwww-perl-*/lib dir in Apache's config for the relevant
script, and removing the -T flag from the CGI's perl shebang. Note, I'm
not advocating this, just pointing it out as a possibility just in
case...
