I have Perl version 5.6.1. and 3.64 version of Parser on Solaris 8. I have seen following similar error reported by another person on internet at http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/6653478. But could not see any reply or solution for that.
Solution
If you are comfortable with the other test results, and you don't expect to use HTML::Parser for pages which require extended character sets, then you can force an install.
From command-line:
$ perl -MCPAN -e 'force install HTML::Parser'
From CPAN command line:
cpan> force install HTML::Parser
From your build directory (if you'd rather not use CPAN):
mv t/entities.t t/entities.tt
mv t/uentities.t t/uentities.tt
make install
OTHER TIPS
You need to report it to HTML::Parser bug tracker. Cpantesters results are only reports, in many cases automatic, so to gain attention of author you need to use bug tracker.
P.S. Upgrading is also a good idea (in case you have no problems of doing this) - Perl has changed much in 9 years from 5.6.1.
