That's clearly an infinite loop or a loop done only once. Perl doesn't
multi-thread, there is no background mystery going on that might change the
result of is_success().

If $res->is_success() returns FALSE it means exactly that, and it won't
change. So, either you made an error in setting up the query and it's LWP
that complains, or the server returns indeed an error condition (for some
reason or another).
