+OVERVIEW
+
+The HTML-Parser distribution is is a collection of modules that parse
+and extract information from HTML documents. The modules present in
+this collection are:
+
+ HTML::Parser - The parser base class. It receives arbitrary sized
+ chunks of the HTML text, recognizes markup elements, and
+ separates them from the plain text. As different kinds of markup
+ and text are recognized, the corresponding event handlers are
+ invoked.
+
+ HTML::Entities - Provides functions to encode and decode text with
+ embedded HTML <entities>.
+
+ HTML::HeadParser - A lightweight HTML::Parser subclass that extracts
+ information from the <HEAD> section of an HTML document.
+
+ HTML::LinkExtor - An HTML::Parser subclass that extracts links from
+ an HTML document.
+
+ HTML::PullParser - An alternative interface to the basic parser
+ that does not require event driven programming.
+
+ HTML::TokeParser - An HTML::PullParser subclass with fixed
+ token setup and methods for extracting text. Many simple
+ parsing needs are probably best attacked with this module.
+
+In addition take a look at the HTML-Tree package that build on
+HTML::Parser to create and extract information from HTML syntax trees
+(similar to HTML DOM).
+
+
+PREREQUISITES
+
+In order to install and use this package you will need Perl version
+5.6 or better. The HTML::Tagset module should be installed.
+
+If you intend to use the HTML::HeadParser you probably want to install
+libwww-perl too.
+
+
+INSTALLATION

+Just follow the usual procedure:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL
