Me, I'd not try to run LWP under Safe.  Seems to me you want system.
Then call it as an external process.  That will be easier to manage,
debug and maintain.  Depends also on how often this will be called.  

Isn't there a [perl allowglobal=1] or some such?  Alternatively, what 
we've done here is create a variant on [perl] tag in Interpolate.pm that 
does NOT use Safe; we make heavy use of system calls and external scripts.

If you know how to write that you are aware of the downside; it's not
 a useful or recommended approach for typical catalog.  :-)

YMMV,
