I am a Perl newbie who decided to try parsing XML using the code and suggested libraries from this tutorial. I am having issues including libraries such as XML::TreeBuilder and HTML::TreeBuilder. I downloaded the code from CPAN (due to various issues with the computers at work, I cannot use "ppm") and put it in the correct directory, but when I try to compile either the Makefile.pl, I get the following error:

C:\Temp\TreeBuilder\XML-TreeBuilder-3.09>perl MakeFile.PL
Warning: prerequisite HTML::Element failed to load: HTML::Parser objec

I get a similar error message when I try to compile simple code like: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# Perform skeleton remapping for given mesh
#

use XML::TreeBuilder;
my $file = $ARGV[0];
my $tree = XML::TreeBuilder->new();
$tree->parse_file($file);

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here... could anyone enlighten me?
