[rt-users] Problem installing HTML::TreeBuilder and HTML::FormatText

I'm still trying to install the perl pre-reqs for RT 3.6.3 on Solaris 10 
(see below).  In addition to the two modules HTML::TreeBuilder and 
HTML::FormatText refusing to install, now I notice this when I run 'make 
fixdeps':

   Text::Quoted 1.3...MISSING
     Text::Quoted version 1.3 required--this is only version 1.10 at (eval 71) line 2.

But the latest version of Text::Quoted at CPAN is 1.10!  Is the above 
message correct?

I'm stymied.  This is Solaris 10 and I'm running on a 'virtual private 
server', where I must install these modules in my home directory.  So, 
I've set up my PERL5LIB environment variables to point to my own 
~/lib/perl5, etc. directories and configured my CPAN parameters so that 
PREFIX points to my home directory.

(Unfortunately, it appears that 'make fixdeps' doesn't honor these 
settings, so I've been installing the 'MISSING' modules using the CPAN 
module myself, which does honor them).

Because everything I'm installing goes under ~/lib and ~/share in my home 
directory, I've been able to re-do this whole process many times, by 
starting with fresh versions of these directories each time.  But I can't 
seem to get the TreeBuilder and FormatText modules not to fail at least 
one of their tests (see below) and also the above-mentioned problem with 
the version of Text::Quoted still occurs.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Mike
