But, anyway, the issue is with an version of an XSUB build.  One of 
the C headers for HTML parser XSUB seems to have been superceded.

If the Linux distribution has old versions of some of the required modules, 
then you'll need to install recent versions, probably manually after 
downloading them from CPAN, in /usr/local/site-perl/<whatever>.

I would try installing libwww and its prerequisites from CPAN.  The
modules that libwww needs, and their versions, should be defined in 
Makefile.PL

You should consider installing another, more recent perl in
/usr/local, not only because you can install the most recent modules,
which of course are updated frequently by the CPAN authors, but also
because Linux's configuration depends on perl and the versions of the
library modules that come with the distribution.
