Get the ppm.zip from Active State here You want libwww-perl.zip. Unzip it (into a tmp dir as it spews stuff out without a wrapper dir), go into the temp dir and and use ppm install libwww-perl.ppd I have just tested it and it works fine.

LWP needs a C compiler from memory. I do recall it is difficult to install on Win32 using the CPAN version. You will generally find it far less painfull to use ppm on Win32. The key problem on Win32 is the lack of a decent C compiler for those modules with XS or C components. With the ppms the comilation has been done for you by the nice folks at Active State so things generally go a lot smoother. The only disadvantage is the time lage between a new module release and the generation of a ppm. Plus the AS ppm's don't tell you what version it is until you have got it and can RTFS.
