The output you showed (in all its glory!) might result from not  
having FTP_PASSIVE set to 1 in your environment. If you're using bash  
try

ex****t FTP_PASSIVE=1

and then going through cpan again. If you're using tcsh then

setenv FTP_PASSIVE 1

and crank up cpan. Failing that it might be worth trying to install  
LWP by hand (it has a few prerequisites that would also need to be  
installed manually, but it's not too bad).

Good luck,
Paul
