Your CPAN test results weren't that bad, so looking at CPAN again, it seems that you could be missing some dependencies. WWW::Mechanize has a slough of dependencies that must be installed or updated. One dependency that always bothers me is HTTP::Server::Simple. I've always had to force install it.

Here's a cpan script to install and upgrade the dependencies: 


#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CPAN;

CPAN::Shell->install(
"Tree::DAG_Node",
"Test::Warn",
"WWW::RobotRules",
"HTTP::Cookies",
"Net::FTP",
"Net::HTTP",
"Digest::base",
"Digest::MD5",
"HTTP::Negotiate",
"File::Listing",
"LWP::UserAgent",
"HTML::Form",
"HTTP::Daemon",
"Test",
"Text::Wrap",
"Pod::Escapes",
"Pod::Simple",
"Pod::Man",
"ExtUtils::MakeMaker",
"HTTP::Server::Simple",
"Time::Local",

"Compress::Raw::Bzip2",
