Hi,
I've installed HTML::Parser on an AIX 5.1 system running perl 5.8.6 along
with HTML::Tagset and all tests passed except for one relating to POD that
was skipped. However, one of our developers found that it didn't properly
parse titles. Here's a sample program that demonstrates the problem. When
run with the perl 5.8.6 that I installed, the output is
Help Title is
(blank line)
but when when run with a copy of perl5.8.0 that someone else installed, we
get:
Help Title is Installation Help
which I assume is correct.
Here's the program:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
eval 'exec dbtperl5.8.6 -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
if 0;
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::Parser;
my $title='';
my $p = HTML::Parser->new(api_version => 3,);
$p->handler(start=> \&title_handler, 'tagname, self');
$p->parse_file("db2wi.htm");
print "\nHelp Title is $title\n";
exit 0;
########################################
# Subroutines

sub title_handler {
return if shift ne 'title';
my $self = shift;
$self->handler(text => sub { $title= shift}, 'dtext');
$self->handler(end => sub { shift->eof if shift eq 'title' }, 'tagname,
self');
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
and here's the db2wi.htm input file

We've already worked around this issue but I thought I should report it in
case it's a bug that someone wants to fix. Unless there's a coding error
here, I would think that there should at least have been a test case
failure to indicate that something is wrong.
Thanks,
Jack Goldstein
