I think LWP::UserAgent comes as standard with ActivePerl - ie you should
already have it. Remove the entire directory you created, and if you haven't
stomped on the original LWP::UserAgent it should work ok. You can test that
it's there, and accessible by running:

perl -MLWP::USerAgent -le "print $LWP::UserAgent::VERSION"

(which, I think, should report '2.031'.)

Cheers,
