I'm unable to remove the package LWP::Simple. however I was able to install the one you gave me, like I have tried to install XML::Simple many different times before and came up with the same error. When I pull up  perl -MCPAN -e shell and type in "r" to pull the list of all installed modules I can't find the LWP or the XML::Simple anywhere in the list after it was installed. So, I'm half temppted to just reinstall my OS as a whole and start fresh since I can't seem to find where it keeps pointing to this file or how it was even created.

When I do a locate Simple.pm I come up with this

/etc/perl/Simple.pm
/etc/perl/XML/Simple.pm
/root/.cpan/build/XML-Simple-2.18-6AUYLc/lib/XML/Simple.pm
/root/XML-Simple-2.18/blib/lib/XML/Simple.pm
/root/XML-Simple-2.18/lib/XML/Simple.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Filter/Simple.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Locale/Maketext/Simple.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Log/Message/Simple.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Pod/Simple.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.10.0/Test/Simple.pm
/usr/share/perl5/LWP/Simple.pm
/usr/share/perl5/XML/Simple.pm

[download]

I've checked all the files and the only one that's different is in the /usr/share/perl5/XML/Simple.pm
