How to install HTML::Parser Perl Module

Hi,

Did you setup CPAN correctly as mentioned here:

http://docs.webfaction.com/software/perl.html?highlight=cpan#installing-cpan-modules

before attempting the install?

I'm getting nearly identical symptoms to those described above. I did setup CPAN as described in the linked docs.

Here's my log:

jfsiii@web165 ~]$ cpan install Geo::IP CPAN: Storable loaded ok CPAN: LWP::UserAgent loaded ok Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan-du.viaverio.com/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Going to read /home/jfsiii/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok Fetching with LWP: ftp://cpan-du.viaverio.com/pub/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Going to read /home/jfsiii/.cpan/sources/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz Database was generated on Tue, 03 May 2011 17:29:44 GMT

  There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.9600) available!
  [Current version is v1.7602]
  You might want to try
    install Bundle::CPAN
    reload cpan
  without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
  while we are running...

The GeoIP CAPI is not installed you should do that. Otherwise try

    perl Makefile.PL PP=1

to install this module anyway. It uses a slower pure perl version 
and you can rebuid it later.

GeoIP must be installed prior to building Geo::IP and I can't find
it in the standard library directories. You can download GeoIP C API from:

http://www.maxmind.com/app/c

If GeoIP is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the
following options to Makefile.PL:

    perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/home/me/lib' INC='-I/home/me/include'

Note that if you build against a shareable library in a non-standard location
you may (on some platforms) also have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable at run time for perl to find the library.

If you installed the GeoIP C libraries to the /usr/local/lib directory,
then you may need to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf then run
/sbin/ldconfig /etc/ld.so.conf
