[publican-list] 'mismatched tag' error during installation

[Jeffrey Fearn]

Hi Michal, this is an old bug in HTML::Element, we carry a patch for 
this in Fedora. Upstream bug with patch at 
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=49932

There is a patch for XML::TreeBuilder that is also required, again 
carried in Fedora and opened upstream with patch at 
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=50060 Make sure you grab 
the later patch since the original had a bug.

FYI I'm now the maintainer for both those packages and am trying to fit 
in time to update both of them. There have been a few developer releases 
of HTML::Element.

Cheers, Jeff.
