I had problems installing LWP and numerous other Perl modules with C
components until I upgraded to XCode 1.5. You can download it at Apple
Developer Connection.

The first thing I try is
sudo perl -MCPAN -eshell

then
cpan>install LWP
This goes for a while then ends badly as below,
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for URI
-- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Running make for G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.803.tar.gz
Is already unwrapped into directory
/Users/anthonyjoshua/.cpan/build/libwww-
perl-5.803
CPAN.pm: Going to build G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.803.tar.gz
-- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
So alternatively I do it from the prompt line as one line;
sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'CPAN::install LWP'
and again its all tragic
