I've seen that if I redefine UNIVERSAL::VERSION, the program also works fine:
sub UNIVERSAL::VERSION {}

Yes, the problem appears because REST::Google::Translate and its parent
REST::Google use "use version".

I made those tests after installing the latest version of version.pm from CPAN.
The program works fine without any other changes if either I add "use
IO::Socket" as Mark Dootson suggested, or if I redefine UNIVERSAL::VERSION.
It is strange why that error doesn't appear when I use the English locale with
Wx::Locale but it appears if I use the Romanian locale code.
Thanks.
