- Get libwww-perl from CPAN 
  (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/WWW/).  W3mir does not work
  with LWP 5.40 and later versions.  Please get an earlier version.
  It also does not work with the new URI package.  Use the URI package
  enclosed in the older LWP.

- Unpack it:

    gzip -dc libwww-perl-*.tar.gz | tar xvBf -

- Install it.  W3mir does not require the whole libwww-perl package and
  all the packages that goes with it to work so you may follow these
  install instructions instead of the libwww-perl install instructions
  to get an easier install which will work with w3mir.

    cd libwww-perl-*

  Are you going to install it in the standard perl place (you need to
  be the system administrator to do this)? If so:

    perl Makefile.PL

  If not (if you are a user):

    perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/dir

  /some/dir could be ~ (as in your home directory).

  IF you are installing an old LWP just for w3mir you can install both
  the old LWP, the Base64 module and w3mir in a special PREFIX
  separate from your usual install PREFIX.  This ensures that w3mir will
  access the older version of LWP and that other software will access
  the newer version.  If you do this make sure you install all of LWP,
  Base64 and w3mir with the same PREFIX.

  This step might produce some complaints;  A standard perl
  installation will typically get messages about missing these
  modules: IO::Socket, NET::FTP and MD5.  None of these need be
  installed to run w3mir and so any error messages about these may
  safely be ignored.

    make
    make test      (robot/ua and local/http might fail, that's OK)
    make install

  Now libwww-perl should be installed and working.
