RH9 Parser.pm error

[Ron Pool]

I upgraded a RH7.3 box to RH9 this weekend, installed the new MailScanner, 
and ran into the exact same problem.  To solve it, I installed 
MIME::Parser, not HTML::Parser, this way:

    perl -MCPAN -e shell
    o conf prerequisites_policy ask
    install MIME::Parser
    quit

If I recall correctly, CPAN wanted to add a few prerequisites for 
MIME::Parser, so I let it.

                                        -- Ron
