in thread Using the syntax checking feature in vim perlsupport plugin

My version of WWW::Mechanize gives no such warning:

$ cat wwwm.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::Mechanize;
$ perl -cw wwwm.pl
wwwm.pl syntax OK

Either you are loading it differently or you are on a different version of WWW::Mechanize - mine is 1.74

    Yeah, I'm on 1.73 but when I looked at the source for 1.75 it had the same exact lines so I didn't bother to install it. I'm invoking it the same way you are.

    I guess I'll try upgrading. I installed the module using Debian package manager. What's the best practice for overriding the stock Perl module in Debian? This is another area I'm weak on.

    Update: This thread looks like a pretty thorough discussion of the options: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=753416

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

    OK, managed to create a backport and confirmed that my script is now using version 1.75 of WWW::Mechanize. I'm still getting that damn warning, though. Do you think it might be my version of Perl? Update: I'm using perl 5.20.2.
