Hello,

I've recently compiled perl5.003 and libwww-perl-5.06.  Both installed
okay and testing fine, but when running GET, here is what message I
get.

bfmail3# GET http://www.charm.net/
Bad free() ignored at /usr/local/lib/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 140.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing the
problem?  All the necessary modules have been installed and to the
best of my knowledge (which is limited), GET should be working fine.

Sys Info:
Dell Pentium 133 w/ 32Megs of RAM
BSDI 2.1
PERL 5.003

Thanks...
