That is exactly the problem with using WWW::Mechanize

Software error:

I know I have LWP::Protocol::https.pm installed in the correct spot, and I know the problem is the same with any module that has XSLoader or Dynaloader as a dependancy to load libraries.

Yahoo does have these modules, (32 with LWP in them) and maybe then libraries, but I think they must be a little stale and I don't know how to make the link to them.

LWP::Protocol - Base class for LWP protocols
LWP::Simple - simple procedural interface to LWP
LWP::UserAgent - Web user agent class
DBI 5.8.7::LWP - The World-Wide Web library for Perl
5.8.7::Bundle::LWP - install all libwww-perl related modules
5.8.7::LWP::Protocol - Base class for LWP protocols
5.8.7::LWP::Simple - simple procedural interface to LWP
5.8.7::LWP::UserAgent - Web user agent class

Do I just call them by use 5.8.7::LWP::Protocol; and hope for the best?
My experience is that Yahoo is not interested in adding libraries, and I have had no luck figuring out how to upload a library and then getting LWP to recognize it's path.

Net::SSLeay object version 1.25 does not match bootstrap parameter 1.85 at ../lib4/Net/SSLeay.pm line 444.
Compilation failed in require at ../lib4/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 19.

What I believe it is telling might be that:
18 use IO::Socket;
19 use Net::SSLeay 1.46;
20 use IO::Socket::SSL::PublicSuffix;
21 use Exporter ();

The object file (ver 1.25) is the library on the host... IO/Socket/SSL.pm wants to know (ver 1.46)... and Net/SSLeay.pm wants (ver 1.85)

Thank you very much for your help
