F.Y.I., (for those that are real keen) I understand that you can install
the AIX XL C/C++ compiler in the PASE environment on the IBM i. However I
am not that familiar with Perl to know if this would help here or not.

I'm running TWiki 5.0.1 on my IBM i 5.4. I'm using the IBM toolkit
version of Perl, 5.8.7. In order to use the TWiki GUI editor, it wants
HTML::Parser. Tried updating via perl -MCPAN but it's no-go. Looks
like it wants to be compiled with the AIX version of IBM C++. Which I
don't have, since I'm on IBM i.

On the off chance that someone here has a spare AIX machine laying
around, if you created/compiled HTML::Parser, would you be willing to
share the binaries? (HTML::TagSet too)

I'm searching the fine web now. I've found some .rpms but I have to
work out how to use RPM on a machine that hasn't got it. Or, more
accurately, it doesn't run at all (signal 5) in Qsh, but complains that
Dependent module librpmbuild.so could not be loaded in PASE.

Web searches have not been fruitful. I thought of installing rpm. The
general set of steps is to installp the rpm.rte file. I can get the
.rte file, but installp seems quite unavailable so far. Tried building
rpm from source, but ./configure reports that I need beecrypt. Grabbed
that source; it passes configure, but not make.

I'm still looking, but it's a lot of work for something that's bone
stock for all other *ux environments.
