Hi, I just got this in my apache logs:
65.39.227.110 - - [28/Jan/2005:00:23:26 +1300]

11746 "-" "LWP::Simple/5.65"

(sorry about the wrapping). Now, I know it didn't hurt the service it hit, as 
it's a Wiki page, and the software ignores any unexpected parameters on the 
URL. I'm wondering where it comes from, however. It's also useful to note 
that that IP address hadn't touched my webserver at all recently, other than 
this. Out of curiosity, I checked, and both the URLs that it tries to wget 
stuff from are 404.
