Dear Monks
I am trying to install WWW::Mechanize on an AIX 5.3 machine but I am getting a plethora of errors. I am trying below coammand

 cpan> install WWW::Mechanize

I get errors like.
1. ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.3 required--this is only version 6.17 at Makefile.PL line 7.
2. LD_RUN_PATH="" ld -bhalt:4 -bM:SRE -bI:/u01/oracle/product/10.2.0/perl/lib/5.8.3/aix-thread-multi/CORE/perl.exp -bE:Bzip2.exp -bnoentry -lpthreads -lc_r -L/usr/local/lib blocksort.o huffman.o crctable.o randtable.o compress.o decompress.o bzlib.o Bzip2.o -o blib/arch/auto/Compress/Raw/Bzip2/Bzip2.so ld: 0711-738 ERROR: Input file blocksort.o:
XCOFF32 object files are not allowed in 64-bit mode.

Error 1. is more understandable but I am not too sure about error 2. Would appreciate tips on rectifying these.
