You can install additional modules in your home directory without writing anything to the perl directory.

Create a "perllib" directory in your home, grab and unpack the .tar.gz source of LWP and build it with:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$HOME/perllib LIB=$HOME/perllib make make install
If you want to use CPAN, you can use it by adding 'PREFIX=/home/yourhome/perllib LIB=/home/yourhome/perllib' when CPAN configurator ask you for additionnal parameters for Makefile.PL
Then you should be able to directly build and install the LWP module with:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install LWP'
So, now the module files should be in your "perllib" dir.
Now you need to tell Perl that there is a new directory that contain modules by adding this directory to the PERL5LIB variable:
export PERL5LIB=$PERL5LIB:$HOME/perllib
And it should work ...

(perlmodinstall may also help)
