(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
[download]

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

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
