You do not have the perl(HTML::Parser) rpm installed. this is not the same as installing it via cpan. > My goal here is to take a brand new installation and get it running > with SA and postfix.

Suggest getting cpan2rpm and building an rpm so you solve the deps problem. You could also install it with a --nodeps option since toy know you have the required deps met or as an absolute last resort install it from tarballs. IMHO the desired approach is to build the rpm. I have used the --nodeps on occasion but that can bite you later.
