There is indeed a documentation bug here. From the MIME::Head SYNOPSIS:

           ### Get receipt information:
           print "Last received from: ", $head->get('Received', 0), "\n";
           @all_received = $head->get('Received');

           ### Print the subject, or the empty string if none:
           print "Subject: ", $head->get('Subject',0), "\n";

Both of the print statements will output double newlines, which
is quite unexpected.

This should be reported upstream with a patch.
