in reply to Installation of WWW::Mechanize Again

So, what happens if you actually run: 
$ cd /root/.cpan/build/WWW-Mechanize-1.64-_fbjEy
$ /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site

The output may contain valuable (and obvious) clues.

    Hi,

    thanks for all answers - it worked :)

    Running 

    > cd /root/.cpan/build/WWW-Mechanize-1.64-_fbjEy 
> /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site

    [download]

    ... produced a gentler reminder that firstly I need to have SSL support ... 

    It looks like you don't have SSL capability (like IO::Socket::SSL) ins
+talled. 
You will not be able to process https:// URLs correctly.

    [download]

    To get the SSL capability I installed 

    > sudo apt-get install libhttp-daemon-ssl-perl

    [download]

    With this requirement out of the way I could then address the installation of WWW::Mechanize proper 

    > apt-cache search WWW::Mechanize           
> sudo apt-get install libwww-mechanize-perl

    [download]

    Finally,  instmodsh listed the installed Perl modules with WWW::Mechanize being one of them.

    Thanks!!

    Dietmar
