in reply to Installing modules using PPM

Perhaps you need to configure ppm to look at more repositories (on the menu: Edit->Preferences->Repositories tab, then pick from the Suggested list and Add). Uwinnipeg lists several different versions of HTML::Strip available (a 5.10 compatible version looks like it is available in the bribes and trouchelle repos and HTML::Entities looks like it is available in the ActiveState, bribes, and trouchelle repos).
