I gave it a quick glance, and it seems to be cleanly written, except that "EOHIPPUS" (End-of-Hippus? Eohippus the extinct horse?) looked a bit too strange to my taste ;-). It does not seem to use features older versions of Perl some people are stuck with do not support.

I do not mind seeing a patch that moves contrib/credential/netrc to credential/netrc and adjusts the top-level Makefile. The test script needs to be updated to fit the rest of t/ hierarchy better, though.
