in reply to After compiling a script using PAR::Packer I get the error Can't locate XML/LibXML/SAX.pm in @INC

So 
BEGIN { $ENV{XML_SIMPLE_PREFERRED_PARSER}='XML::Parser'; }
use XML::Simple qw/ XMLin /;

works with pp -c foo.pl to depend on XML::Parser and not libxml...

    would be more straightforward and less error-prone than 
    $ENV{XML_SIMPLE_PREFERRED_PARSER} = 'XML::Parser';

    Whichever method you use, it doesn't need to be done before the module is loaded; just before XMLin is called. Safer: 

    use XML::Simple qw( XMLin );

sub parse_xml {
   local $XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER = 'XML::Parser';
   return XMLin(@_);
}

my $xml = parse_xml(...);

        If you think it doesn't matter which parser is used, you've been lucky or you haven't used XML::Simple much. You don't have to be an asshole about it.
