When the WWW::Mechanize docs fail you, check the LWP::UserAgent doc. Mech isa LWP::UA. 

~>perldoc LWP::UserAgent | ack -i \\bhead\\b
              requests_redirectable   ['GET', 'HEAD']
           headers from the <head> section of HTML documents. The defa
+ult is
           this is "['GET', 'HEAD']", as per RFC 2616.  To change to i
+nclude
       $ua->head( $url )
       $ua->head( $url , $field_name => $value, ... )
           This method will dispatch a "HEAD" request on the given $ur
+l.
