You mean direct from CPAN?  It takes some effort.

However, you can download the MacPerl port of libwww-perl-5.10 from
<ftp://mors.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/MacPerl/Scripts/>

}
}As far as I know, libwww requires Data-Dumper, libnet, MD5, MIME-Base64 and
}IO (perhaps others).

 A MacPerl ready version of libnet is at the URL above. MD5 is optional,
not required. The version of IO that comes with MacPerl is adequate.
MIME-Base64 still includes Perl only code, so it's simply a matter of
putting the *.pm into a folder named MIME.  Data Dumper is no longer
required by libnet, but it also comes in a Perl only version (called
Dumper.pm.NOXSUB).

}
}I haven't actually tried yet (to be honest, haven't tried MacPerl yet
}either) - just thought I could maybe save myself some headaches by asking
}here first.

Works just fine.
