in thread segmentation fault on HTML::TokeParser

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I already found a solution via HTML::Truncate which does the job for me.

Wrt needing 10 mins for installing a patch and then installing Perl -- well, I am not very well versed in the methods of installing Perl. I installed it on my Mac and it took me between 30 mins and an hour, IIRC, but that is because everything went without any hitch. That may or may not be the case on Dreamhost. Then, once I am done with Perl, I will have install all the various modules I need, only a very few of which I have installed locally for myself. All in all, way more than 10 mins for a newbie like me, although it probably is only 10 mins for someone such as you more well-versed in the ways of Perl.

    Installing perl is not that hard. You have done it once already - the second time is easier!

    In terms of modules you can use CPAN has tools like Module::Install::Bundle. There are plenty of nodes showing how to list all the modules your application or entire local perl distribution uses and need to be added to the standard distribution. You can make a bundle and then get CPAN to install them. It can be relatively painless.
