LWP is same as libwww-perl?

I use the CPAN tool to install LWP, and it failed. Then I used the PPM tool. I can't find LWP in PPM, but only libwww-perl (LWP). Are they the same with a different name?

I am using Strawberry Perl.

Yes, they are more-or-less the same thing. libwww-perl is the name of the distribution, and LWP is the name of the main module in that distribution. So in order to use LWP, you would install the libwww-perl distribution. Make sense?
