This gets stranger and stranger. And probably curiouser too.

banquo mythweb # perl -e'use LWP::Debug qw(+);use LWP::UserAgent;$ua = 
LWP::UserAgent->new;my $req = 
HTTP::Request->new(GET=>"http://www.imdb.com/find?;q=akira");my $res = 
$ua->request($req);print $res->status_line,"\n";'
LWP::UserAgent::new: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: GET http://www.imdb.com/find?;q=akira
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Internal Server Error
500 Can't connect to www.imdb.com:80 (Bad hostname 'www.imdb.com')

So now I can't figure it out; is the hostname failing to resolve (unlikely, 
since links2 sees it just fine), or is it an infernal server error? I tried 
replacing the search string with the one that gets reported in my browser 
address bar (namely http://imdb.com/find?tt=on;nm=on;mx=20;q=akira) and get 
the same error. Any guesses as to what's going on? Should I bow down and 
pray to Cthulhu?
