Re: Sending XML codes through HTTP post in Perl

I have already downloaded

LWP-attic-1.00
ParallelUserAgent-2.51
libwww-perl-5.53 

but an error is thrown when installing LWP-attic (some stuff 
couldn't be found), went through perl -MCPAN -e shell, worked
well, should I install LWP:UserAgent? I tried, this error:
Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::UserAgent" at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/CPAN.pm line 1888, <GEN3> chunk 1715.

Any idea? *URGENT* + Thanks for quick replies.
