For the archives' benefit, I'm replying to my own post.
I seem to have figured this problem out - an old version of HTML::Parser
was installed. Why the hell I installed an outdated version on a new
server build, I have no idea.
However, something that vexes me is the fact that '-D --lint' showed the
versions for several perl modules, but _not_ HTML::Parser. If it had,
I probably would have figured this out two weeks ago. :(
Is there a logical reason it's not displayed? Or is it an oversight?
If the latter, can it please be added before the next dope like me
comes along with an outdated module? :)
Thanks!
Benny
