Summary: gocomics not working

Initial Comment:
This is somewhat a duplication of issue 3312019 - I upgraded to the version on github and am getting the same errors from gocomics.com now.

I did make sure to remove my  previous installation so there was no cruft left behind getting in the way.

Sample output message:

/srv/www/hendersj/comics/Peanuts-20110606
failure fetching 'http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/2011/06/06' for Peanuts-20110606 (0).

Following the link given, though, takes me to the page where the comic is located correctly.

Message:
Hmm.
Could you please try and add

$ua->agent("Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20110323
Firefox/4.0 Iceweasel/4.0");
$ua->timeout(15);

to Factory.pm below

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(parse_head => 0);

in line 373.

I believe the site somehow filters the default user agent of  libwww.
