LWP, no. My Mac OS X perl installation appears to have LWP installed
by dumb luck but my Gentoo Linux perl doesn't have LWP anywhere
in @INC. :-) Yet both systems run GIT happily.
The HTTP support in GIT is already linked against libcurl and libcurl
is required to use said HTTP support. I would think that libcurl
is capable of using Keep-Alive when possible, and libcurl and C
are certainly available anywhere GIT's HTTP support is currently
being used. Ideally any HTTP feature should either be using the
curl command line tool, or better, be written in C against the
libcurl library. But not LWP. Its not always available even though
a valid perl is.
