No, libwww-perl did not fail, obviously

Luckiest break, simply reinstalling HTML::Parser should work

At most, you'll have to reinstall perl

    thanks, yeah, I'm doing some forced installs now.

    obviously, whether libwww-perl failed or not, depends on your definition of "fail" and "obviously".

    but a non-programmer, not privy to special definitions of "fail" and "obviously", would look at this and say "it didn't work, that is, it failed".
