You could sniff the transaction from browser and LWP and check for differences.
You could try specifying the same browser/agent in your LWP script, eg:
$ua->agent('Mozilla/8.0');
Dump your response object and see what's there, eg:
use Data::Dumper; $Data::Dumper::Indent=1;
...
my $res = $ua->request($req) or die "request: $!";
print Data::Dumper->Dump([$res], [qw($res)]);
