Hello Monks,
My goal is to get SVN::Core installed which relies on two things: sqlite3 and LWP.
When I went to install SVN::Core from CPAN it complained about both. So I downloaded sqlite3 manually and installed it manually and got past that point.

But with LWP it keeps failing. Whether I try installing it via CPAN or download and install it manually.

If I try installing it via CPAN this is what I see: 
MIME::Base64 is up to date (3.14).
Digest::MD5 is up to date (2.53).
URI is up to date (1.60).
Net::FTP is up to date (2.79).
HTML::Tagset is up to date (3.20).
HTML::Parser is up to date (3.71).
HTML::HeadParser is up to date (3.71).
Running install for module 'LWP'
  MSCHILLI/libwww-perl-6.06.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/MSCHILLI
+-_QegDo
  MSCHILLI/libwww-perl-6.06.tar.gz
  Had problems unarchiving. Please build manually

And if I go to /root/.cpan/build/MSCHILLI this is what I see:
[root@uszmpaplp005lc MSCHILLI-_QegDo]# ls
libwww-perl-6.06  libwww-perl-6.06.tar

[download]

It looks like it was able to download libwww-perl-6.06.tar. But if I remove the directory and try to expand the archive it looks like the archive is corrupt:
[tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'
libwww-perl-6.06/bin/lwp-download
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'
libwww-perl-6.06/bin/lwp-dump
libwww-perl-6.06/bin/lwp-mirror
libwww-perl-6.06/bin/lwp-request
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

[download]

And if I download the archive manually from cpan and try to expand it, I get the exact same result. So it looks to me that the archive of this module itself is corrupt on CPAN. If I understand the situation correctly.
So how exactly can I get this module installed so that I can proceed with SVN::Core?
