I have inherited a script that uses libwww and its dependencies to hit some webpages and extract some info. The problem was my machine did not have any of the libwww and its dependencies. So I went and downloaded and installed each one from CPAN, here they are with their respective version numbers:

Digest-MD5-2.12
Font-AFM-1.18
HTML-Format-1.23
HTML-Parser-3.13
HTML-Tagset-3.02
HTML-Tree-3.05
MIME-Base64-2.11
URI-1.09
libnet-1.0703
libwww-perl-5.48

When I run my script, the line that uses the format method of the HTML::FormatText object I get:

"Can't locate auto/HTML/Parser/traverse.al in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/HTML/Formatter.pm line 94"

I think it has to do with HTML-Format and/or HTML-Tree, but I can not even find this traverse.al file only a traverse.pod in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/HTML/Element

I am running Redhat 6.2 and perl 5.005_03
