Description Juan C. Mendez 2004-02-09 04:38:03 UTC

Fetchyahooo successfully emerged, but when tried to retrieve Yahoo mail, got this error message:

Logging in securely via SSL as your_username on Mon Feb  9 02:30:53 2004
https://login.yahoo.com/config/login
500 Can't locate HTML/HeadParser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 .)
Failed: Couldn't log in.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a system where Perl is just installed, so HTML::Parser is not installed
2. emerge fetchyahoo (emerges fine)
3. configure and run fetchyahoo

Actual Results:  
Error message shown above.
Workaround: Install HTML::Parser by doing:
$perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install HTML::Parser

Expected Results:  
Fetchyahoo should have work without problems and fetch email

There is an easy workaround, but it would be nice for end users if the ebuild would automagically install the required Perl module
