I think the new lines in the latest version of UserAgent.pm are which wern't 
in the previous version:

sub env_proxy {
    my ($self) = @_;
    require Encode;
    require Encode::Locale;
    my $env_request_method= $ENV{REQUEST_METHOD};
    my %seen;
    foreach my $k (sort keys %ENV) {

which calls for Encode::Locale which isn't present.
