The bug exists in 6.06, but not in 6.02.

If the response header does not have a Content-Encoding header, decoded_content() returns nothing.

I am using perl5.10

Same behaviour with v6.10 on Perl v5.22.0. Test [1] does not work.

Response is obtained using LWP::UserAgent->new->get("file://$Bin/data/UTF-8.html"). It has no Content-Encoding headers. But HTML in content has one.

Maybe the failure depends on a particular environment? The CPAN Testers fail/pass overview http://fast-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Email-MIME-CreateHTML%201.041 shows only 2� FAILs.

Ok, I've found the problem. IO::HTML was not installed on my system, however HTTP::Message depends on it at runtime. I've filed a bug to packager [1]. With IO::HTML installed test passes.

IO::HTML is in HTTP::Message's required modules. This can be closed as it's outside of scope.
