(BTW, the first link in that section, to lwp-request, is broken).

I'm guessing, but probably because it is created at when you run Makefile.PL , so if you install LWP, the link will work, just not on CPAN

update: well I checked, its a typo in the NAME section of https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/libwww-perl/bin/lwp-request, must use dash, convention is  NAME - description so it should be

lwp-request - GET, POST, HEAD - Simple command line user agent

This is also a bug in PAUSE/CPAN indexer, most folks figure out the right formatting, but it should warn the rest when =head1 NAME doesn't match NAME - description because its used for resolving links

It took me a while to understand you because of the HTML escaping in the link.

Aww :) I usually double check ... metamod:// should be smarter and save me when I typo :) https://metacpan.org/pod/LWP#MORE-DOCUMENTATION
