Add a line near the top of your script that says:
use LWP 5.60;
This makes the script fail to run (die) if an older version of the
library is installed. Unfortunately, it will produce a message that
says something like:
LWP version 5.6 required--this is only version 5.21 at foo line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at foo line 1.
The 5.6 (without the trailing '0') might confuse somebody.
Alternatively you could check directly agains $LWP::VERSION with code like:
require LWP;
if ($LWP::VERSION < 5.60) {
die <<"EOT";
You need a version of LWP with HTTP/1.1 support. That means
version 5.60 or better. The installed version is only $LWP::VERSION.
