Sorry to tread on an old thread.
I was hoping to try XML::LibXML but am having trouble with the
install. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but....
My installed version of XML2 is 2.6.20, th readme for XML::LibXML
says a mimimum of version 2.6.16 is required. But it complains when
creating the makefile that
"running xml2-config...failed
The installed version of libxml2 not compatible with XML::LibXML."
It's a long-shot but does anyone know what the problem is here? There
isn't anything relevant on via searcb engine or at
http://xmlsoft.org/FAQ.html
TIA.
Dp.
