Looks like it can't find the submodule LWP::Protocol::http in your path. 
Have you tried

	use lib "your/path/to/your/local/perl5/lib/";

Your LWP::Protocol module should be somewhere here then:

your/path/to/your/local/perl5/lib/LWP/Protocol.pm

and the module you're looking for at

your/path/to/your/local/perl5/lib/LWP/Protocol/http.pm


Hope that helps!
