It uses LWP::UserAgent for the heavy lifting, and simply lets you know if it failed to retrieve the document. More specifically, it uses $response->is_error as the "test." . Normally, you wouldn't want this test to be run during end-user installation because they might have no internet! It is HIGHLY recommended that this be used only for module authors' RELEASE_TESTING phase. To do that, just modify the synopsis to add an env check :)
