1) I don't know what "wrap" is supposed to mean in this context

2) Your code below does not use LWP::UserAgent (at least, not
explicitly)

Not for me, it doesn't. I get back an HTTP 500 error, albeit with a
significant amount of debugging information

If you want to get at the content of this HTTP 500 page, you cannot use
LWP::Simple (it's called "Simple" for a reason). Use the full fledged
LWP::UserAgent to examine the LWP::Response content attribute.
