in thread Problems Updating HTML::Parser

does it use HTML::Parser ? It definitely uses *XML::Parser* for sure, but I would think that the likely explanation is that some other process is using HTML::Parser.

HTML::Parser has had an XS component and hence a Parser.dll since version 3.0 BTW

    Both XML-Parser and HTML-Parser are included in the list of modules that PPM uses (search for "PPMPRECIOUS" in ppm.bat). I didn't search any further to see what part of PPM uses HTML::Parser nor how/why. Feel free to.

      Hmm, the versions on CPAN certainly don't use it directly: 

      [root@orpheus build]# find PPM PPM-2.1.1 -type f -print | xargs grep '
+HTML::Parser' 
[root@orpheus build]#

      I don't have an actual Activestate distribution to hand to check unfortunately. I think that what it might be is that PPM uses LWP and HTML::Parser is a dependency of that.

        I'm not sure why you keep questioning this. 

        perl -dS ppm
  DB<1> x \%INC
...
   'HTML/Parser.pm' =>...

        It certainly uses it. Probably indirectly via some SOAP module.
