This looks more a non-naitive English speaker problem than a Perl problem, but . . . :)

Probably the simplest answer is to think of LWP::Simple and LWP::UserAgent. The former provides a "wrapper" interface (get, getstore) around the more feature-ful interface of the later. It hides what may be unnecessary details behind an easier to use interface that makes it simpler to use than if you had to write the more extensive code necessary to use the underlying module. If you don't need to get at the full API the wrapper can make it easier to get stuff done in less code.

Another common usage would be a module which imitates the API of another module to provide the same functionality by some other means. No good examples are coming to mind right offhand but someone may chime in with one later . . .
