Here's a few options that you might consider.

The first is that you can still download and install LWP::Simple but just install it into your local directory (unfortunately this might have to be a web visible directory for you). I've done this with my host once when they wanted me to test a package before installing it onto the main servers. Needless to say, I've moved host sine then ;-)

The next option is to download LWP::Simple and extract the code from there and put it into your own stand alone script. This can be a good way to overcome this kind of problem, but I'd contact the module's author first or read up on the licence that come with it.

Or your other option is to look into programs such as Wget which can be configured to retrieve files on from remote servers on a regular basis.

Other than that, try looking around for a more flexible hosting solution.
