It's not just MacPerl, either.  One of my traditions after installing 
any new version of Perl on one of my Unix boxes is to do an immediate 
CPAN run to update the modules that come with it, since several are 
usually out of date.  CPAN is a moving target.  For example. 
perl5.005_03, the current version, was released in early August. 
Since then, my cpan-testers log shows for libwww-perl:

PASS libwww-perl-5.45 ppc-linux 2.2.10 Mon Sep 20 21:29:22 1999
PASS libwww-perl-5.46 ppc-linux 2.2.10 Thu Oct 28 11:33:54 1999
PASS libwww-perl-5.47 ppc-linux 2.2.10 Wed Nov 17 08:23:05 1999
