I am getting the following error while editing using WYSWYG editor

Base class package "HTML::Parser" is empty. (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first, or make that module available in @INC (@INC contains: /var/apache2/htdocs/twiki/lib . /opt/csw/lib/perl/site_perl /opt/csw/share/perl/site_perl /opt/csw/share/perl/site_perl /opt/csw/lib/perl/csw /opt/csw/share/perl/csw /opt/csw/share/perl/csw /opt/csw/lib/perl/5.10.1 /opt/csw/share/perl/5.10.1 /var/apache2/htdocs/twiki/lib/CPAN/lib//arch /var/apache2/htdocs/twiki/lib/CPAN/lib//5.10.1/sun4-solaris-thread-multi /var/apache2/htdocs/twiki/lib/CPAN/lib//5.10.1 /var/apache2/htdocs/twiki/lib/CPAN/lib/).

Compilation failed in require at /var/apache2/htdocs/twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/WysiwygPlugin.pm line 211.

while the raw edit works all fine.

I figured out from other posts that I need to install html:parser. My IT team has installed all the required modules but it still doesnt works. May be some path problems or needs config change, but I m not able to work it out.

Never mind I found the solution.

We need to create a soft link at /usr/bin/perl as Twiki uses this location by default.

we can test if html:parser is working using this command

/usr/bin/perl -MHTML::Parser -e 0

Good to know. Thank you Harsh for reporting back!

Since you have Perl in a different path did you change the #!/usr/bin/perl in all twiki/bin/ files?

-- PeterThoeny - 2012-03-19

No you need not change any path just create a soft link in the mentioned directory i.e /user/bin/perl.

For eg. my perl was installed at /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl So i just created a soft link for it at /usr/bin/perl and it works fine
