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.
CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
