First off, thank you (and everyone else) for taking the time to respond to my question.
yes, indeed you are right. Merlyn did write an article about it (Web Techniques, Oct 1996). What confused/intimidated me was a line that said "Line 3 extends the built in library search path to include the location of my locally downloaded CPAN items". Please do not flame me for my ignorance. Installing LWP seemed to have several dependencies itself. If only the required libraries were listed, it would have been easier. I'm not looking to be spoonfed the answer, but these sorts of ambiguities make it easy for a task like to slide to the back burner.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
