I think
set prerequisites_policy ignore
force install URI::URL
force install LWP
will do it without going absurdly crazy. Alternatively cd
~/.cpan/build/Package-Name-Ver and do "make install" by hand.
It's a pain in the arse, isn't it? I've reported it as a bug to GBARR
(maintainer of IO::Socket), but he reckons it's a CPAN.pm bug.
