LWP won"t install

LWP won"t install

Hi,

Not sure if this is the correct list or not. I have three different Linux
servers for which I have recently updated to Perl 5.8.7. On all three
machines I am not able to install LWP using CPAN via Bundle::LWP. All fail
with the same error of HTML::Form being the problem:

html/form.............ok 1/103# Test 99 got: "" (html/form.t at line 476)
# Expected: "zero"
# html/form.t line 476 is: ok(join(":", $f->find_input("r0")->value_names),
"zero");
html/form.............FAILED test 99
Failed 1/103 tests, 99.03% okay

This appears to be the only thing failing at this point.

Any help would be appreciated,
John

This is due to HTML::TokeParser (part of HTML-Parser-3.47)
which recently added the option "empty_element_tags=>1" to it's default
parser options.

Empty tags like "

" generate a dummy "end" token without
text (the 'got: "" ' above). The test script does not expect that token.

Without that empty_element_tags option the attribute list of such a tag
would contain a boolean attribute with named "/", which is very weird.

Force install is safe in this case.

I'm going to revert this change in HTML-Parser. I thought this was a
safe change but I was obviously wrong about that.
