Dear Monks,

I want to do some html parsing, but I am having problems installing HTML::Tree on mac osx 10.4.11. Is there another module I should use instead? The output from my failed install was lengthy, so I am including just parts of it:

$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for darwin-2level-thread-multi

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9402)
Enter 'h' for help.

cpan[1]> install HTML::Tree

...
....
...

Running make test
