[ale] Perl HTML::Parse

Hi,

Looks like HTML::Parse has been depricated.  But many books I have
still use HTML::Parse examples.  So, I went ahead and installed
HTML-Tree-0.50 from CPAN.  Now HTML::Parse works.  But now I have
several questions:

1) Why was HTML::Parse depricated?
2) Is not "wrong" to use HTML::Parse?  (I'm thinking "depricated" just
means it's not recommended anymore, but it won't break or hurt
anything.)
3) When I read examples in books like The Perl Cookbook and Web Client
Programming with Perl that use HTML::Parse, what should I use instead?

TIA!
