Well, after consulting with Autrijus Tang (the author of ExtUtils::AutoInstall
among else) I was suggested to run the following in the shell beforehand:
$ export PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL=--default
This caused Ovid [1] to compile XML::Feed and all of its dependencies
perfectly.
Moreover, I was given a check-in account for the EU::AI repository and used it
to clarify the POD documentation for it in this regard. (per request of Mr.
Tang)
Best regards,
