This comes up regularily. Having a different error message format than
the rest of the Perl world is annoying for this kind of tests, but
having an error message that is different from what LWP normally would
expect form a program, is not ideal either.

How about having a Macintosh specific special variable (or a hash entry,
for example in %^H; too bad perlvar advises against it), which controls
which error message format you get, would that work?
