How did you install it ?
There's a PPM for it at the bribes repository that could be worth a try
(assuming it's not what you've already got).

Just:

  ppm remove Win32-Lanman

and then:

  ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-Lanman.ppd

There's also a PPM (at the same repository) for Win32API::Net which,
according to its description is a "Perl interface to the Windows NT
LanManager API account management functions". It could be worth trying as an
alternative to Win32::Lanman if all else fails:

   ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32API-Net.ppd

Cheers,
Rob
