The first thing to do is upgrade your perl, at least the 5.003 it's rather
old and there are security issues that have been fixed in later versions.
In later versions at least, the binaries created for modules go in the
site/<version> tree so you should install libwww once for each version. I
think that might have been introduced with 5.005, so that's another reason
to upgrade.
Hmmm. There don't appear to be any binaries in libwww, so one copy for both
versions of Perl should be fine. That's assuming none of the modules you
need require a later version.
