I don't think so.
lwp-request knows several methods, [0] which can all be invoked as
lwp-request -m FOO
For 3 of them (GET, POST, HEAD) of offers shortcuts via copies
(upstream) [1] or symlinks (Debian). So these three are in the NAME of
the POD, as the 4 manpages are the same (or sysmlinks).
There is, as you have mentioned, no PUT binary/symlink, so no need
for it to be mentioned in the NAME of the POD/manpage; and still
lwp-request can make PUT requests, and a few others.
Maybe that's confusing but I see no bug here and suggest to close
this ticket.
Cheers,
gregor
