Problem resolved !
I apologize to everyone who attempted to assist me with this strange problem, for not figuring it sooner (this is the 1st time I encounter this limit (I'll explain).
Timeline:
As always I allowed my long process apps to run overnight, and in this particular case, download a mass of files to 1 directory.
In the next day I attempted to install File::BOM and failed, and after running the same (completely unchanged) app overnight again, I noticed in the day after it downloaded nothing, and confirmed it is no longer able to download anything (no warning/error messages).
Setup:
Later, apparently when I ran the same app in a different directory, it worked normally, making me think something is wrong with the directory or file system or maybe even some super-localized hardware problem in my hard drive (a stretch but I felt pretty open minded at this point).
So I attempted and as expected failed to create a new file in that directory (using Os methods, nothing to do with perl), so I guessed and confirmed I can create exactly 3 files there after moving exactly 3 files away.
Yep you get it.
Punchline: (this is one for the books)
Apparently I have reached (for the 1st time in my life) the maximum number of files allowed in one directory (about 65529 if I'm not mistaken) this is obviously the classic 65535 (FFFF hex) with some padding.
Random Coincidence:
Basically this entire misunderstanding happened only because (completely coincidentally) I've attempted to install a module exactly 1 day after (for the 1st time ever) reaching the maximum allowed number of files in a directory, using a perl app.............
In Conclusion:
Yes that's really all there's to it.
Sorry again for not realizing this sooner, and thank you all so much for trying to help me.
About CPAN
The issue of not being able to get new cpan modules may still stand, but after this scare, I think I'll take some time before "rocking the boat" again ^^.
Thx again and I promise I'll try harder to not waist anyone's time in the future ☺
------------------------------------------
Hello.
I'm a perl novas and have recently
inquired as to a way to convert utf8 encoded *.txt files, and was recommended to try File::BOM, but after an installation (attempt), not only the module didn't work, but also the module WWW::Mechanize, which I had no problems with until now.
(I'm using strawberry on Win-xp sp2 in case that matters)
To make things clearer: (unlike with File::BOM) I have no error/die report when
use WWW::Mechanize;nor when
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 );
eval{$mech->get($url, ':content_file' => $downName);};
if($@){print "Error: $@"; <>;}
accept that now these code lines no longer produce downloaded files.
Based on the timing, I figured installing File::BOM somehow damaged the files of WWW::Mechanize, so I tried to reinstall WWW::Mechanize but the problem remained the same.
I use multiple perl apps of my own making, that uses this form of file downloading option on a regular basis, both in my personal and professional life, in other words, if I can't fix this soon nor find some reliable alternative way to download files automatically, I might actually lose my job.
I'm going to try using an old computer where this problem doesn't exist (nor most of my files and apps) but this is a temporary solution at best.
Please please help.
Here are the terminal lines (way beyond my understanding) of the installs of both modules:

If the GET is damaged, then does that mean I can't download and reinstall a fix to WWW::Mechanize from cpan (because maybe it uses the same GET) ?
Thank you very much for any assistance (I'm way over my head here).
UPDATE:
I have done some experimentation and now believe that WWW::Mechanize does go online but fails to save files.
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use WWW::Mechanize;
$|=1;
print "Init\n";
if($@){print "\n\$@ = $@\n"; $@=0;}
if($!){print "\n\$! = $!\n"; $!=0;}
print "Mech\n";
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 );
if($@){print "\n\$@ = $@\n"; $@=0;}
if($!){print "\n\$! = $!\n"; $!=0;}
print "Get\n";
#$mech->get('https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/goog
+lelogo_color_272x92dp.png', ':content_file' => 'z.png');
#$mech->get('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af
+/White_pearl_necklace.jpg/220px-White_pearl_necklace.jpg', ':content_
+file' => 'zzz.jpg');
#$mech->get('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e
+/Various_pearls.jpg/210px-Various_pearls.jpg', ':content_file' => 'zz
+.jpg');
#$mech->get('http://google.com/ncr'); #print $mech->content( format =>
+ 'text' );
#$mech->get('http://google.com/ncr'); #print $mech->content( format =>
+ 'text' );
if($@){print "\n\$@ = $@\n"; $@=0;}
if($!){print "\n\$! = $!\n"; $!=0;}
print "\nDone\n"; <>;
exit;
In this code I use "#" 7 times.
If I drop any 1 or 0 of them, my terminal shows:
Init
Mech
$! = Bad file descriptor
Get
Done
If I drop any 2 # (unless its 5 but not 4, or 7 but not 6 obviously) I get
Init
Mech
$! = Bad file descriptor
Get
$! = Bad file descriptor
Done
If I drop the last 2 #, I do get the content of the page.
If I understand correctly this means I do get online files/pages but can't save them for some reason.
As before, no combination produced any downloaded files.
Your thoughts ?
Thank you.
