"Note: WWW::Mechanize does not work, as I can't get all the Perl Module files uploaded to the Yahoo Server."

Providing a full description of what that means would be prudent here. What fails? How does it fail? How are you attempting to upload/install the "problematic" distributions? What errors occur?

Edit your question and add the output/error messages from the locally-working script when run on your Yahoo! server.

Can you upload LWP::Simple? I don't have time to test, but I've scraped using that before. The test was HTTP not HTTPS, but perhaps that may work. Take a look at this post, particularly the perlmonks() subroutine.

Unfortunately, I have not the time right now to help with actual testing, nor is any of my equipment currently configured to simply re-run that test. May provide enough of a baseline though for you to adapt to.
