I really hate the way the default for new modules is to support AutoLoader and that AutoLoader gives such a misleading error message for one of the most common problems that pops up when using modules. I've been hacking my modules to remove support for AutoLoader because of this. (Actually this problem is caused by an overuse of inheritance in the standard Perl modules, but that is a rant for another day.)

Anyway, what that error message really means is that you tried to use the method traverse() via an object that does not support a "traverse" method.

So don't go looking for a file called "traverse.al" as you will most likely never find one because there most likely never was one. Instead, go looking for a newer version of HTML::Parser that supports a "traverse" method. Or go looking for an older version of whatever module it was that tried to use that method to see if you can find one that works with old versions of HTML::Parser (which don't have that method).
