No, those are all working fine, at least when I open up IE (not my personal browser choice, but meh).

    IE configured to use a proxy or something?

      If that's the case, the only other thing I can think of is 
      $ua->no_proxy();

        That doesn't help either if the OP is behind a firewall and needs to use a proxy.

      Likely it is. Ugh, now I have to remember how to figure out how to get around that... hmmm...

      it worked for me doing this: 
      use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get ('http://google.com');
my $content = $mech->content;
print $content;

      I don't think it is necessary to put the 'or die "Can't create mech" part? Also,I have a brief tutorial that I have requested for comment using WWW::Mechanize that is in the meditations section

        That doesn't fix anything if a proxy is involved. See the LWP::UserAgent proxy() and env_proxy() methods.
