Actually, none of those are the correct package (but they all depend on
the correct package, so any of them would work in a sense). The package
that you want is called "perl-libwww-perl":

    $ sudo dnf install perl-libwww-perl

You can also use the provides spec "perl(LWP)", which will give the
exact same result:

    $ sudo dnf install "perl(LWP)"

I have no idea why the submodules are called "perl-lwp-<name>" while the
main module is called "perl-libwww-perl".
