in thread Problems Updating HTML::Parser

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.

    /J\

      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.
