The Debian (and Ubuntu) package for a distribution Foo-Bar is always named libfoo-bar-perl.
For most modules like WWW::Mechanize the distribution has the same name as the main module, so look for a package libwww-mechanize-perl. I Don't know if there is such a package in your distribution.
(LWP is a bit special in this regard because the distribution predates the package names that we now know. Luckily apt-cache search perl lwp turns up libwww-perl - WWW client/server library for Perl (aka LWP).) | [reply]

aptitude install libwww-mechanize-perl
Worked great, thanks!

Got it all to work, and I now understand that for many of the CPAN packages I want, there is a corresponding Linux package.
Dumb question, but I'll ask anyway -- can someone tell me why some CPAN modules have corresponding Linux (in my case, Ubuntu) packages? Are they for the Perl modules that have some binaries and are not pure Perl? Because some modules download fine in CPAN, and I'd doubt that there is a corresponding Linux package.
Thanks,
Matt
