I have gotten WWW::Mechanize::Firefox to work before with Active State Perl, but years ago and haven't done it on my current PC. I am was on XP at the time.

You won't like this answer because it is not easy. But you probably had to do something to your PC in order to make the Perl script work from the .pl file which you have now forgotten about.

Since you are talking about a colleague instead some unknown guy on the internet, I would install Perl on his machine and see what it takes to get the un-packaged (non .exe) source code to run on his machine. That my remind you of some debugging steps that you did on your machine. Then I would make an .exe on his machine and see if it runs on your machine.

There are many ways to go wrong with pp. When I was doing this with AS, I had a license to their .exe builder (PerlApp). I started with this thing in the '90's, when their dev kit was pretty "cheap". I think the AS price is "outa sight" nowadays. Anyway get source to run on your colleague's machine. Follow the trail from there.
