Yes, I have already done that.

No - I have:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Parse/Yapp/Parse.pm

I have:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/HTML/Parser.pm

The only 'Parse.pm' I have is the one in
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Parse/Yapp/

lwp-request -o text 'http://www.etc'
