in reply to Can't locate XML/LibXML.pm in @INC

You installed a .src.rpm file. This is the source code for the package; it is not what you want. The compiled module will be in an i586.rpm or x86_64.rpm or similar.

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

    Thanks for the reply.Well, I tried to install

    perl-XML-LibXML-1.70-5.el6.x86_64.rpm. It threw the following error message:
    error: Failed dependencies:
    perl(XML::SAX::DocumentLocator) is needed by perl-XML-LibXML-1:1.7
+0-5.el6.x86_64

    [download]

    To resolve the dependency, I tried to install

    perl-XML-SAX-0.96-7.el6.noarch.rpm.

    It threw the following error message:

    error: Failed dependencies:
    perl(XML::LibXML) is needed by perl-XML-SAX-0.96-7.el6.noarch

    [download]

    Why there exists a cross dependency between XML::LibXML and XML::SAX::DocumentLocator? How to resolve it?

      Why there exists a cross dependency between XML::LibXML and XML::SAX::DocumentLocator?

      Because whomever created the RPMs you're using made it that way

      there is no such cross dependency on CPAN. XML::SAX doesn't require XML::LibXML, but XML::LibXML requires

      How to resolve it?

      Force installation (every package manager has the option), or use cpan or cpanm to install XML::LibXML

        Ya,you are right. Cross dependencies should not be there. But that is exactly what I'm getting. Anyway, force installation did not help much,it's still throwing the same error message. I do not have the option to use CPAN either.

      Install both at the same time.

      Take the time to learn the tools you are working with!
