Looks like you might be right... It appears that the RHEL3 RPM version
of perl-libwww-perl is possibly a bit long in the tooth - it's package
name is 'perl-libwww-perl-5.65-6'. From
http://search.cpan.org/src/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.805/Changes:

"Release 5.802

    The HTTP::Message object now have a decoded_content() method.
    This will return the content after any Content-Encodings and
    charsets has been decoded."


I'll install the latest version of libwww-perl and try again.

Cheers,
Guy.
