The documentation of WWW::Curl (4.17) states, under "COMPATIBILITY":

    curl_global_cleanup
        Only used internally, not exposed through the public API.
    [...]
    curl_global_cleanup
        Only used internally and called automatically upon exit.

So this seems intended. (The duplication is probably a very minor bug.)

It looks like you can reach curl_global_cleanup() in libcurl from the
Perl side via WWW::Curl::_global_cleanup() if you really want but you
probably shouldn't. So just drop the call in tsget?

Hope this makes sense,
