Thanks for the heads-up Silas

Publican depends on perl-HTML-Tree and a related module, 
perl-XML-TreeBuilder. New versions for both are available and making 
their way through Fedora updates. It seems that updating one without the 
other creates the scenario that you and Allen have noted.

I recommend:

1. Update perl-HTML-Tree to the new version (4.1-1)

2. Download and install the new version of perl-XML-TreeBuilder from 
Koji (4.0-3) [1]

3. If Publican then works again as expected, log into the Fedora update 
system (Bodhi) with your Fedora account and leave positive Karma for 
perl-XML-TreeBuilder.[2]  This ensures that the package sees general 
release as quickly as possible.
