I doubt that you need to add a directory manually. Chances are 
that HTML::Parse is really not installed. It's not part of libwww-net,
see this list of libwww components: 
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/libwww-perl

To install this module, do (as root):

# perl -MCPAN -e 'install HTML::Parse'

or download HTML-Tree, which contains HTML::Parse from 
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/HTML-Tree, then unpack, and
in the new directory:

$ perl Makefile.pl
$ make
$ make test
# make install

hope this helps,
