The cygwin list can also not help.
You need a perl module and perl help from the locations recommended in
the perl docus.

$ perldoc perlfaq
is a good start.

cygwin perl does only come with the core modules plus some additional modules
so that CPAN works out of the box.
If it does not come with "HTML Content Parser files", you have to install
them by your own via cpan.

There are several modules for parsing HTML.
Search them at http://search.cpan.org/
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=HTML+Content+Parser&mode=all
HTML::Parser  e.g. is often used.

And as it turns out HTML-Parser-3.56, XML-Parser-2.36, XML-SAX-0.16
and XML-LibXML-1.66 are already included with cygwin perl.
Other modules should be installed via cpan.
