The answer to both is no. I was the original developer of the system,
and I no longer work at the Geometry Center. I don't think there has
been any new weboogl development since for at least a year. When I
left the perl5 libwww hadn't come out yet. When I was actively working
on it, the problem with running the code under perl5 was not just the
socket thing, but also bugs in perl5.
