 A friend suggested the problem might only be in the root environment, and
 sure enough...

 {{{
 $ sudo su
 ...
 # which head
 /opt/local/bin/head
 # which HEAD
 /opt/local/bin/HEAD
 }}}

 Which is strange, because my standard user $PATH is identical to the
 superuser $PATH, yet it works fine as standard user in zsh and not in the
 superuser shell, which is using sh by default. You get the same outcome in
 superuser zsh.

 Also, I wonder if the HEAD utility from lwp came from installing it using
 the MacPorts perl, but from CPAN.
