Do you have the p5-HTML-Parser package installed?
https://metacpan.org/search?q=html%3A%3Aentities shows that it contains
the HTML::Entities module.  Does `perl -MHTML::Entities -wE 1` fail?

It should.  https://www.freshports.org/www/p5-HTML-Tree/ shows that 
p5-HTML-Tree depends on p5-HTML-Parser.
