decoded_content normally returns a TEXT string, whereas content only supports OCTET strings. When LWP got fixed, your module got broken. Or, well, its error was exposed.

Using doceded_content is fine, but don't try to stuff its text result back into the byte content container. If you're using decoded_content but don't really care about character sets, supply charset => 'none' and continue using it as you are now.
