    Did you even try to get HTML::Parser installed? There are a lot of useful modules not in core, without which Perl misses very basic usefulness, such as DBI (to name but one). Did some federal security agency check all the core modules and gave them a "thumbs up"? I really doubt someone went to that effort.
