libwww-perl issues/upgrade?

There are a couple of issues with the libwww-perl 5.64 installed on v.w.o:

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=226
...and a new one, which is according to my tests fixed in 5.68 and later
(see below and
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2004Mar/0059.html). 
Perhaps we could consider upgrading to 5.70 or later, on :8001 first for
a test period?
