Hi Dec,
    You could try installing the modules manually.  With the exception of
the libwww-perl related modules, you only need to decompress the module
files into an appropriate directory.  It sounds like you already have
libwww-perl, though.  You can find an appropriate directory by iterating the
@INC array from the console like this:
perl -e 'for ( @INC ) { print "$_\n"; };'

... just pick a directory from the output.

Here are the URLs for each of the modules you've mentioned.
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/URI-1.35/
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/HTML-Parser-3.56/
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl/

Alternatively, you could try installing the modules via the CPAN module's
install command.  You'll have to install the CPAN module first, though (
http://search.cpan.org/~andk/CPAN-1.9102/).  You probably already have that
one, or you can easily install it with YAST.

If you use either of these methods, the modules won't be available for
uninstall by your package management system.
