Well, depends if you are in Perl, or bash, but really something as simple
as:
perl -e 'use HTML::Parser;'

Aside from the mess of Perl diag which you can redirect away, you'll get
a 0 or not.

Good lord no, I don't either:) But when you "do" update:)
Shame about the inheritance issue, it's not hard to install modules out
of the base location and pull them in, unless you have a mess to change
I guess...
