In a proper blib the architecture dependent things go in blib/arch, 
but the way you have it looks like it will work.

Wrong @INC.  You might want to put a "print "@INC";" at the beginning 
of the test just to make sure that the test script is seeing the 
right one.  Since handler is actually done by the XS, the other 
possibility is that the shared library isn't loading, but I'd expect 
a DynaLoader error in that case.

You probably don't want to hear that HTML-Parser-3.04 is out :-)
