in thread WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS - can't exec "phantomjs"

Thanks - I didn't read the page closely enough and assumed cpan would take care of all dependencies. NEW ISSUE: Rather than make a new post, I'll just add this one: After downloading phantomjs.exe and pointing to it in my test program above using this line: 
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS->new(launch_exe => "/home/user1/p
+hantomjs.exe");

[download]

I now receive the following error when I try to run it: 


Can't open '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/WWW/Mechanize/PhantomJS/ghos
+tdriver/main.js'

Selenium server did not return proper status at (eval 82) line 61.

[download]

Any ideas on this one? The main.js file referenced in the message does exist.

      No, what I am saying is that the file referenced in the error message: 
      '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/WWW/Mechanize/PhantomJS/ghos
+tdriver/main.js'

      [download]

      already does exist - it was put there when I installed WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS. The question is: why is PhantomJS unable to open it?

        The error message did not say the file was missing.

        Rather it said : Selenium server did not return proper status at (eval 82) line 61.
        (Emphasis is mine)

        Selenium is known to have issues with popup messages (or so I've heard - no personal experience with it).
        You probably need to dig into Selenium logs to see what it did not like.
