Try forcing it
ppm install LWP --force
I don't use ppm often so I'm not sure if that command is correct.

nmake gave errors where it said it couldn't find Program Files - I replaced all "Program Files" mention in the makefile with Progra~1

You can install perl into "program files", but you have to police your path/config, see Changing Perl Config settings, example

C:\>echo echo %~s1 >shortpath.bat C:\>call shortpath.bat "C:\Program Files\Perl\bin\perl.exe" C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:\>C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL C:\>set path=C:\PROGRA~1\Perl\bin\perl.exe;%path C:\>perl Makefile.PL
For future reference, its better if you copy/paste error messages .
