The absence of use HTTP::Status causes this error:

use strict;
use warnings;
#use HTTP::Status;
my $x = HTTP::Status::RC_PERMANENT_REDIRECT;

This is because these "constants" are injected dynamically (via eval) into the module as part of initialisation code in HTTP::Status, see:

# https://metacpan.org/release/HTTP-Message/source/lib/HTTP/Status.pm
# v 6.29
my $mnemonicCode = '';
my ($code, $message);
while (($code, $message) = each %StatusCode) {
    # create mnemonic subroutines
    $message =~ s/I'm/I am/;
    $message =~ tr/a-z \-/A-Z__/;
    $mnemonicCode .= "sub HTTP_$message () { $code }\n";
    $mnemonicCode .= "*RC_$message = \\&HTTP_$message;\n";  # legacy
    $mnemonicCode .= "push(\@EXPORT_OK, 'HTTP_$message');\n";
    $mnemonicCode .= "push(\@EXPORT, 'RC_$message');\n";
}
eval $mnemonicCode; # only one eval for speed
die if $@;

So, a use HTTP::Status is needed. Furthermore, it seems that mnemonics prepended with RC_ are legacy. I assume the proper way to refer to the codes by message/mnemonic is via HTTP_PERMANENT_REDIRECT() (and not by RC_PERMANENT_REDIRECT)

LWP::UserAgent loads HTTP::Status indirectly via use LWP::Protocol;. Has your perl upgrade also included all installed modules?
