upgraded the interpreter, which commonly breaks access to previously installed CPAN modules because the new Perl uses different library paths. and are on the right track: first confirm whether the current Perl can see WWW::Mechanize, then reinstall into the Perl you are running.

Quick checks (run with the Perl you intend to use):

perldoc -l WWW::Mechanize
perl -V    # inspect @INC paths
perl -MWWW::Mechanize -e1    # returns success if the module loads

If the module is not found, install it for that Perl. Common options:

  • Use the system package manager (binary packages exist on many Linux distros).
  • Use the CPAN client: cpan WWW::Mechanize or cpanm WWW::Mechanize (cpanm is lightweight).
  • Use a per-user install with local::lib if root access is not available.

Avoid copying .pm files between different Perl versions; reinstalling ensures XS modules are rebuilt for the current Perl ABI. If building from CPAN fails, ensure basic build tools are installed (make/gcc or build-essential). Reference material: the module documentation on MetaCPAN (WWW::Mechanize) and the local::lib guide (local::lib).
