Hello John, Well all the examples cause the problem from the example.pod file. Here is the shortest one, written by Randal himself. I was running this code to test the module out and that is when I ran into the problem. In other words, I have not even gotten to my own code yet. I have also been unsuccesfull in getting the latest version of this module to install which is why I went to the prior version. 
use strict; 
$|++;
 
use WWW::Mechanize;
use File::Basename; 
  
my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new;
 
$m->get("http://www.despair.com/indem.html");
 
my @top_links = @{$m->links};
  
for my $top_link_num (0..$#top_links) {
next unless $top_links[$top_link_num][0] =~ /^http:/; 
 
$m->follow($top_link_num) or die "can't follow $top_link_num";
 
print $m->uri, "\n";
for my $image (grep m{^http://store4}, map $_->[0], @{$m->links}) { 
    my $local = basename $image;
    print " $image...", $m->mirror($image, $local)->message, "\n"
}
 
$m->back or die "can't go back";
}

This is the very line that causes it:
my $m = WWW::Mechanize->new;

Well any help is always appreciated. Thank you very much!
