I've just looked in the "man 7 groff" and here is:
Single Character Escapes:
\’     The acute accent ´; same as \(aa.  Unescaped: apostrophe, right quotation
mark, single quote (ASCII 0x27).
\‘     The grave accent `; same as \(ga.  Unescaped: left quote, backquote
(ASCII 0x60).

So the problem is in every man page, which have ` instead of \`. This problem
isn't occured in package man-page as I see. 
For example tcsh -> "rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man1/tcsh.1.gz"
give us: tcsh-6.15-1.fc8
I reassign it back to perl-WWW-Mechanize, you can reassign it to particular
packages, if you want.
