Possible bug in HTML::Parser

Hello.

I am using the HTML::Parser module to parse a list of bookmarks
exported from the Firefox browser. Firefox exports bookmarks to an
HTML file containing nested definition lists.

I have discovered that when the parser encounters a bookmark
whose name ends in a closing parenthesis, the closing parenthesis
is stripped. (Bookmark names are coded as definition terms, using
the <dt> tag.)

A sample of the code being parsed looks like this:

<DT><A HREF="http://www.google.com"; ADD_DATE="1101144594"
ID="rdf:#$.GjDP">Google (search engine)</A>

The decoded text passed to the handler by HTML::Parser
would be "Google (search engine".

Any ideas whether this is a bug in HTML::Parser, or should I
take another look at my code?

Thanks
-Mark
