Here's something that's a bit confusing:

> perl -MURI -le 'prin URI->new("http://foo.com")->host'    
Can't locate object method "prin" via package "URI" at -e line 1.

Are you on Windows?  If so you need to use ppm to load modules.

Otherwise: 

Take a look at CPAN.org.  There's the URI module and the LWP bundle.  You
should compare your versions with what are on CPAN.

   http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=libwww-perl  (LWP)
   http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=URI

Note that installing LWP should also install URI, if you use CPAN to install.


For example:
> perl -MLWP -le 'print $LWP::VERSION'
5.60

> perl -MURI -le 'print $URI::VERSION'      
1.15

I just ran this as root:

   perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'

and after a few minutes and many lines to the screen...

> perl -MLWP -le 'print $LWP::VERSION'
5.64

> perl -MURI -le 'print $URI::VERSION'
1.19
