Bug#720331: libnet-ldap-perl depends on libwww-perl. Why?

[John Hughes]

Package: libnet-ldap-perl
Version: 1:0.4400-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

	I installed libnet-ldap-perl in order to query a ldap database

   * What was the outcome of this action?

	libwww-perl was installed, leading to a whole mess of dependancies

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

	Just a few little things.


Does libnet-ldap-perl realy need libwww-perl and all it's 20-odd dependancies?
