Thanks for the help...I commented the 2 lines and now i can package it. But the packaged script is not working. it stops at :
$agent->use_plugin('JavaScript');
So running the EXE file of the following script outputs Test1, and it just stops with no errors. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::JavaScript;
use WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::DOM;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use IO::Handle;

open OUTPUT, '>', "output.txt" or die $!;
open ERROR,  '>', "error.txt"  or die $!;
STDOUT->fdopen( \*OUTPUT, 'w' ) or die $!;
STDERR->fdopen( \*ERROR,  'w' ) or die $!;


my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new();

print "Test1\n";

$agent->use_plugin('JavaScript');

print "Test2\n";

exit;

The perl script works fine, but the exe file doesn't so i'm guessing the problem is with packaging dependencies for the javascript support ?

Then again it does not give any error, any ideas on what could be causing this ? (I am using perl 5.8.8)
