Subject: LWP::Simple::mirror() returning a "500" for local errors.
LWP::Simple::mirror() returns a "500" status code if there was a local error. The one I observed was that the local file name length exceeded the filesystems path length limit. Pathological example: perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'print LWP::Simple::mirror("http://google.de/", "/tmp/".("x" x 10000))."\n";'

This special case seems to be fixed now. With LWP 5.830 I get a long error message containing "...: File name too long". Regards, Slaven
