you should be able to install XML::Parser from activestate - using their PPM. If you need instructions on how to use PPM, read this FAQ. Good Luck, - Moon	[reply]

Moonie, thanks for your quick reply. It turns out that the activestate binary actually includes XML::Parser which I, with an inexcusable lack of Laziness, did not realize (I wasn't using the activestate binary). cheers --Tom	[reply]

I haven't checked recently, but XML::Parser used to come standard with Activestate Perl, as it is used by ppm. The only problem you might have is that it comes with version 2.27 of the module, which is not the latest. So you might have a problem with some modules that require 2.30. OTOH I (and apparently the people at Activestate) consider version 2.27 to be the latest stable one, so don't upgrade unless you really need it. Good reasons to upgrade would be if you run into problems with Apache's version of expat interfering with XML::Parser's one, or if you need better access to the DTD. To update to XML::Parser 2.30 you will need first to get expat 1.95.2 then XML-Parser.ppd	[reply]

Well, I'll be darned. I downloaded and installed the activestate port and, lo, there it was. An inexcusable lack of Laziness on my part (I was not using the activestate binary). Thanks very much for putting me on the right track. I wasted days on this. --Tom	[reply]
