HTML::Parser requires HTML::Entities, and it's probably the latter you
want to study.

No it is not the one I am looking for. HTML/Entities.pm merely encodes
and decodes entities.

I am looking for where other things like tags, their attributes etc
are handled and I do not find them in either of these.

Nevertheless, I thank you very much for your reply.

Thank You

Take a look at the beginning of the perl module.
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/HTML/Parser.pm
require DynaLoader;
@ISA=qw(DynaLoa der);
HTML::Parser->bootstrap($VER SION);
That means Parser.pm uses Parser.so (and Parser.bs).

/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/auto/HTML/Parser/.packlist
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.bs
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so

The *.so files are built from *.h and *.c files.
..cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.34/hctype.h
..cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.34/hparser.c
..cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.34/hparser.h
..cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.34/Parser.bs
..cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.34/Parser.c
..cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.34/Parser.o
..cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.34/Parser.pm
..cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.34/Parser.xs
..cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.34/pfunc.h
