Dear Monks,

I do not know why I am getting ... 
Can't locate object method "get" via package "LWP::UserAgent" (perhaps
+ you forgot to load "LWP::UserAgent"?) at ./download.pl line 8.

... error messages. My script (with exception) of the shebag is taken directly from the Synopsis section of LWP::UserAgent on CPAN (see below): 
#!/usr/local/iXSD/perl/bin/perl
require LWP::UserAgent;
 
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->timeout(10);
$ua->env_proxy;
 
my $response = $ua->get('http://search.cpan.org/');
 
if ($response->is_success) {
        print $response->content;  # or whatever
} else {
        die $response->status_line;
}

Do I need to something funky with my @INC? Or is my Perl version too old ... 
$ perl -version

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i686-linux
...

Thanks!
