These tests are for the LWP library modules, right? I think that is what 
they are from. I suggest you go into your .cpan/build/LWP-xxx directory and 
do manual install sequence:

Perl Makefile.PL
make
make test

...see if you can glean if this is a dependency problem or something else. 
I remember one time I had trouble with the installation of LWP on a server, 
and it turned out to be a server configuration issue - something having to 
do with /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/hosts, I think.
