I do have installed both Text::Format, HTML::TreeBuilder, but still getting almost the same error.

Well, that is impossible :) How/where did you install?

My version of CPAN runs on Ubuntu 16 and I had the same problem you seem to be having. I'm not sure how to fix it for html2text, but I do know how I got lynx runnning on my version of CPAN and the problem was solved. From a CPAN prompt run: `o conf` Does it show a configuration variable lynx? `lynx undef` Then it is easy to fix, I'm pretty sure. `o conf lynx /usr/bin/lynx` Then: `o conf commit` This will work if lynx is installed at /usr/bin/lynx . Otherwise substitute the right location. /usr/pathto/lynx. Hope it helps.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

o conf lynx /usr/bin/lynx

o conf commit
