And the saga continues... When I run my little test case I get:

So I went looking for Parser.pm and found these: 
$ sudo find /usr -name Parser.pm -exec ls -l {} \;
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 39789 Oct 15  2011 /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5

Ah. So if I grep out the version from each of them I find: 
$ grep "VERSION =" /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-threa
+d-multi/HTML/Parser.pm
$VERSION = "3.69";
 grep "VERSION =" /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thre
+ad-multi/HTML/Parser.pm
$VERSION = '3.55';  # $Date: 2006/07/10 09:12:26 $

And from perl -V the @INC is: 
@INC:
    /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8

At this point I went on to see what Task::Mechanistic would do for me... (see next reply)
