You will need XML::Parser installed first (which in turn requires the expat library). XML::Parser comes with ActiveState Perl. Having said that, XML::DOM is probably not a good choice of DOM module. XML::XPath would be better and no harder to install. XML::LibXML or XML::GDOME would give even better performance but may be harder to get going. We could be more helpful if you'd included a copy of the errors you're getting from the install process.	[reply]

If you do it using the CPAN module: `perl -MCPAN -e shell` then it will install all needed modules together with it.	[reply] [d/l]

A description of the errors you get, as well as your configuration (machine/OS/version of Perl) would be helpful. As it is I can only guess that your machine might not turned on ;--) On *nix, to install XML::DOM you need first to install the expat, then you can either use CPAN (or CPANPLUS) to install XML::DOM or just install XML::Parser then XML::DOM. On windows use ppm, I believe Activestate's repository has a ppm for DOM.	[reply]
