dev-perl/WWW-Mechanize needs HTML::Form

However, HTML-Form is not a dependency of dev-perl/libwww-perl versions 6 and greater, and on earlier versions it was shipped with this.

WWW-Mechanize-FormFiller is the only other module in tree that I expect to exhibit this same issue from this list: 

http://deps.cpantesters.org/depended-on-by.pl?dist=HTML-Form-6.00

In the current state of things, ( Timestamp of tree: Sat, 12 Mar 2011 03:30:01 +0000 )

1. Unmask libwww-perl 6 and friends
2. Upgrade libwww-perl 
3. Reinstall WWW-Mechanize 

is enough to repeat this behaviour.

Both fixed. Thanks, Kent.
