HTML:Parser
Title: HTML:Parser
I've just installed HTML::Parser on a machine here. It passed all of make, make test and make install fine. (output from make test pasted)

All tests successful, 1 test skipped.
Files=30, Tests=147, 48 wallclock secs (40.17 cusr + 5.53 csys = 45.70 CPU)
Then when I try to use it in the following file (which is a quick paste from lwpcook, with some changes to make it work in new seperate version of HTML::Parser)
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use HTML::Parser;
my %link_elements =
(
'a' => 'href',
'img' => 'src',
'form' => 'action',
'link' => 'href',
);
my $BASE = "http://www.sportal.co.uk/";
my $parser = HTML::Parser->new();
my $h = $parser->parse_file("/export/home/gharper/0,10225,1_1547_2168,00.htm");
$h->traverse(\&expand_urls, 1);
print $h->as_HTML;
sub expand_urls
{
my($e, $start) = @_;
return 1 unless $start;
my $attr = $link_elements{$e->tag};
return 1 unless defined $attr;
my $url = $e->attr($attr);
return 1 unless defined $url;
$e->attr($attr, url($url, $BASE)->abs->as_string);
}
The output I get from this is
Can't locate auto/HTML/Parser/traverse.al in @INC (@INC contains the followinng paths )
the paths arse set up correctly and pointing at where I installed the module, so I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas ?

Winzip (what most windows users these days use to unzip) handlers tar.gz by default so that may not be neccesary. On a completely off topic note I'm appealing to the contractors among you here.
