Yes, but it probably won't be easy. In this script LWP is being used to request data from another CGI script at http://www.bom.gov.au. If you want to replace LWP you'll have to write your own web-page grabber using basic socket commands, by calling an external process like "wget" or by some other means.

I think it would be easier to just install LWP local to your script. For example, if you installed LWP into /home/pip/modules, you could put this line at the top of your script:

    use lib '/home/pip/modules';

-sam
