I just converted to perl5.003 and the latest libwww-perl and ran
into a problem that may be related to this thread.  It seems that
when I parse a document containing

     <a href=...><img src=... ...></a> 

the angle brackets in the img tag get converted incorrectly to
&lt; and &gt;.  

This wasn't the case with the previous version I used (b5) and I assume
is a bug.

Your comment in the thread about subclassing to parse objects within
an anchor surprised me, since it seems that they should be parsed
no matter what if they might contain a tag like <img>.

Any suggestions?
