Hi,

libwww-perl uses Perl's redo statement incorrectly [1].  This breaks
programs that cause libwww-perl to send a header larger than
8k bytes (and maybe others).  This was fixed upstream with the patch
from [2].

I have prepared an update for stable using upstream's patch.  Is the
release team okay with uploading this to stable?

Regards,
Ansgar
