MOMspider predates most Web software that can still be run today.
It was the original basis for libwww-perl and has no clue about Perl5
because none of the objectisms existed at that time. If you want
the whole package, including the early libwww-perl library that you
are missing, get it from
http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/fielding/mom_lwp_97.tar.gz
and add the following patch:

I don't run it myself any more -- the Web is much bigger now than it was
in 1994, and MOMspider really needs to be updated to run on top of a
database rather than in memory.
