Upgrading is probably a good idea. I have a feeling your multi-thread
build is somehow preventing you from installing marc-xml -- but I
really don't know.

An alternative to upgrading might be installing the module manually
using Windows nmake. nmake is essentially make for windows and would
allow you to download a package directly from CPAN, unpack it, and
install it with.

perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install

The only disadvantage to this is that you'll need to grab the
dependencies yourself...but you might be able to use ppm for them. The
advantage is you don't have to wait for ActiveState to create a
ppm...and can get stuff hot of the presses (if you're that sort of
person).

John Bokma has some good instructions for using nmake on Windows with
CPAN modules [1].

Well, I'm using "perl, v5.8.6 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" on
WinXP SP2. No problem in re-installing the same.
