I am trying to install HTML::Format but I get this error: 
 <!-- ~/tmp --> perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML::Format'

Try the command

    i /HTML::Format/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

I then tried to use some chatterbox idea and it failed too: 
  <!-- ~/tmp --> perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML-Format'
CPAN: Storable loaded ok

Try the command

Also I'm a bit worried about the unaddressed bugs with the module, some dating back 3 years.
