Hi,

I have found it useful to have support for the NAME-attribute of the META
tag in HTML::HeadParser. The following modification was necessary for that
support:

% diff lib/HTML/HeadParser.pm-original  lib/HTML/HeadParser.pm
165,167c165,172
<       return unless exists $attr->{'http-equiv'};
<       $self->{'header'}->push_header($attr->{'http-equiv'} =>
<                                      $attr->{content})
---
>       if (exists $attr->{'http-equiv'}) {
>           $self->{'header'}->push_header($attr->{'http-equiv'} =>
>                                          $attr->{content});
>       }
>       if (exists $attr->{'name'}) {
>           $self->{'header'}->push_header($attr->{'name'} =>
>                                          $attr->{content});
>       }

If this is correct I think it would be a nice feature to have in the
official release.
