So you send me a private message telling me there are, in fact, problems with my module but you refuse to tell me what the problems are. If you can give me some clear, specific issues with HTML::TokeParser::Simple that need to be resolved, I'd be happy to deal with those issues. The truth is, the only bug report I can ever remember getting about this module was from you and that was a couple of years ago. Even then it was not a bug but a bad design decision on my part and I fixed it rather promptly.

So please tell me what the problems are with this module. If you can't think of any, don't go spreading FUD. If you can think of some, why didn't you tell me what they are before you started trashing my module? I didn't write the thing just to say I have something on the CPAN. I want it to actually be useful.

Update: After digging around, I find a cryptic entry in your changes file for HTML::LinkExtractor. All it says is that you stopped using HTML::TokeParser::Simple back in September of this year. There's no mention in the associated bug report that my module was at fault and had you even done something as simple as forward me the link, I would have happily fixed it. Now I'm going on vacation and (if the code is in fact buggy) I have to leave buggy code on the CPAN until I get back.

Cheers,
