What exactly have you done?  A quick check of the source makes me think this should be pretty straight forward.  LPW::UserAgent has this piece of code 

if ($ENV{PERL_LWP_USE_HTTP_10}) {
    require LWP::Protocol::http10;
    LWP::Protocol::implementor('http', 'LWP::Protocol::http10');
    eval {
        require LWP::Protocol::https10;
        LWP::Protocol::implementor('https', 'LWP::Protocol::https10');
    };
}

which loads the respective module if the environment variable is set/true.  This is the only occurrence of the variable in the entire LWP distribution, and the CPAN module/shell doesn't seem to touch the variable either...

From that, I'd figure you've either somehow set it incorrectly, or LWP::UserAgent isn't being used to make the connection.

Anyhow, for debugging purposes (or as a last resort), you could simply modify that line to read (you find it near the top of UserAgent.pm) 

if (1 or $ENV{PERL_LWP_USE_HTTP_10}) {  # always true
    ...

and see what happens then...
