Hello fellow monks!

I'm having a problem with some Perl code that stopped running after Perl was updated on a FreeBSD box.

I'm not sure what went wrong (I do not have root access to the server, nor I did the update) but I'm suspecting paths are now wrong.

The error message says that HTML::Parser is missing. And as code worked in the past there had to be HTML::Parser on that machine. Not sure what happened to it ...

Another thing that seems interesting - is that in @INC there are a lot of different folders, pointing to various Perl installation. But I haven't seen any that contains "site" (which I believe is similar in meaning with "local" - folder where non-default modules are installed). So it might mean that Perl is only accessing modules that are shipped with it.

Can anyone point me out to some source where I can check the right procedure for updating Perl or changing (whole server) INC?

Any other idea is welcome ...
