You can set the (undocumented) variable
@LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS to specify LocalAddr.  This
variable contains additional parameters that are always passed to
IO::Socket::INET's constructor.

Something like this:

  @LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = (LocalAddr => 'xxxxxxx');

  # The normal drill
  use LWP;
  my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
  my $res = $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://www.perl.org"));

  print $res->as_string;
