Hi Galen (and list), Because it seems that this discussion is tending towards Perl code / Perl dependencies, I'm "Cc"ing the koha-developers list, In future followups, I think that I'll remove the "regular" Koha mailing list from the Cc list, for this discussion.
My comments / questions are below: On Mon, Jun 8, 2009, Galen Charlton<galen.charl...@liblime.com> wrote: > For what it's worth, I was just able to successfully install HTTP::OAI > from CPAN on a clean Debian Lenny box.

Unfortunately, I tried today (9-Jun-2009) to install several (many) other XML-related packages that are in the SLES 11 DVD, but it didn't seem to make any difference. For what it's worth, I found out that "HTTP::OAI", in several of its ".pm" (Perl Module) files, require some XML::LibXML "submodules" (I don't know the correct word for that). For instance, the METS.pm file - located at HTTP-OAI-3.21/lib/HTTP/OAI/Metadata/METS.pm - requires the "XML::LibXML::XPathContext" module. If I try to install "XML::LibXML::XPathContext" from CPAN, then I get an error related to utf-16 (Unicode encoding) and umlauts (see "t/09xpath.t" line below): ---------------------------------------- myhost:~/HTTP-OAI-3.21/lib/HTTP/OAI/Metadata # cpan cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.94) ReadLine support enabled cpan[1]> install XML::LibXML::XPathContext CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18) Going to read '/root/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:26:58 GMT CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.68) Going to read 37 yaml files from /root/.cpan/build/ CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9711) ............................................................................DONE Restored the state of 37 (in 0.9044 secs) Running install for module 'XML::LibXML::XPathContext' Running make for P/PA/PAJAS/XML-LibXML-1.69.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/XML-LibXML-1.69-R2RtfP Has already been made Running make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/01basic.t ................... 1/3 Compiled against libxml2 version: 20701 Running libxml2 version: 20701 t/01basic.t ................... ok t/02parse.t ................... ok t/03doc.t ..................... ok t/04node.t .................... ok t/05text.t .................... ok t/06elements.t ................ ok t/07dtd.t ..................... ok t/08findnodes.t ............... ok t/09xpath.t ................... 1/57 # Test 54 got: "\xFE\xFF" (t/09xpath.t at line 142) # Expected: "utf-16 test with umlauts: \xE4\xF6\xFC\xC4\xD6\xDC\xDF" # t/09xpath.t line 142 is: skip( # Test 57 got: "\xFE\xFF" (t/09xpath.t at line 156) # Expected: "utf-16 test with umlauts: \xE4\xF6\xFC\xC4\xD6\xDC\xDF" # t/09xpath.t line 156 is: skip( t/09xpath.t ...................
