Thank you all for the detailed information, it now seems pretty clear how this should be done.
I did a bit of testing, and of course it's not that simple (it never is). For instance, HTML::Parser is made up of a bunch of modules that call each other, so I guess I'll need to paste each of them in my script and basically do a s/^use (.*)\;$/BEGIN \{ $1->import\(\) \}\;/ in them.
And then of course there are the external dependencies. E.g. HTML::TokeParser has use HTML::Tagset ();, so I'll have to download HTML::Tagset as well, and any dependencies it might have... I'm starting to see why a module was written in the first place for this purpose.

After pasting the HTML modules in my script and starting it, I got error messages about a bunch of subroutines being redefined. I think the various HTML::Parser modules contain the same subs multiple times (once in each module). So I'll either have to switch warnings and strict off, or I'll have to manually delete or rename subs. Oh joy...
If a kind App::FatPacker user ran it on these 3 modules for me, I would be very grateful.
