Fear no more htoug, there are several ways to process XML without expat:

XML::Parser::Lite, included in Paul Kulchenko's Soap::Lite, is a pure Perl XML Parser that emulates XML::Parser. It requires Perl 5.6.0 at least.

Matt Sergeant is working on a pure Perl parser: XML::SAX::PurePerl. It is in alpha stage and requires bleadperl (does bleadperl compile on Tru64?).

You can also try XML::LibXML for a parser that's not based on Expat (but on the Gnome XML library libxml2) and that should compile on most platform with gcc.

Of course all XML::Parser based modules won't work then, but SAX based ones will.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
