Subject: LWP::Simple::get doesn't decode properly
LWP::Simple::get returns bytes, not text, which is confusing and a bit odd for a "just do the right thing" piece of code. In my opinion this is either a pretty easy bug to fix (via $res->decoded_content() in the implementation) ...or if bug-compatability is a concern, the method should be deprecated, and a new one introduced to to the Right Thing.
