Problems installing LWP

During installation of LWP I get:
===========================================================
eto-sporadix:libwww-perl-5.08 {83} > perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~
Checking for IO::Socket. failed
Can't locate IO/Socket.pm in @INC at Makefile.PL line 30.

Checking for Net::FTP... failed
Can't locate Net/FTP.pm in @INC at Makefile.PL line 49.

Can't locate MD5.pm in @INC at Makefile.PL line 70.

The missing modules can be obtained from CPAN.  Visit
<URL:http://www.perl.com/CPAN/> to find a CPAN site near you.

===========================================================
I guess I at least need the IO:Socket module, and
maybe the Net:FTP module as well.
I tried searching at "http://www.perl.com/CPAN/", but
couldn't find out what I needed to install.
Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
I guess I was close when I saw IO-1.15.tar.gz at:
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/perl/CPAN/modules/by-module/IO/
but I wasn't sure.

If it matters I'm running Solaris2.5 on a Sparc20 Unix-box.
