As far as I know, this is a compatibility problem. You should be able to overcome it like by making a few small changes.

The reason you're getting these errors is that there is a dependancy on version 3.25 that from what I've read isn't really necessary. Find the following two lines: 

  $p->ignore_elements('BODY');
  $p->ignore_elements('body');

[download]

and delete them. Then, on line 28, change: 

  use HTML::Parser 3.25; # Need 3.25 for $p->ignore_elements.

[download]

into: 

  use HTML::Parser;

[download]

Update: Before you try all this, you should probably try upgrading your version of Perl, too.

Fixed: Line numbering.
