Ah! There's your problem. Upgrading results in a load of Perl modules being
installed in the wrong place, due to a new version of Perl in RH8 and 9.

You can safely leave the RPM's in place, but use CPAN to install the
modules again.
         perl -MCPAN -e shell
         o conf prerequisites_policy ask
         install HTML::Parser
         quit
