You haven't installed XML::Smart correctly, it's dependencies are not satisfied, Object::MultiType.

You don't mention how you installed XML::Smart, if you think downloading the tar files and copying files to places is a good idea, it isn't.

To install using ppm from the command prompt:

ppm Module::Name

[download]

To install using cpan from the command prompt:

cpan Module::Name

[download]

Either method will install the module and it's dependencies. If you use the cpan method consider installing MinGW and the build tools for your version of ActiveState Perl by:

ppm MinGW

[download]

Note also the XML::Smart module is quite old and has several reported bugs you may want to make yourself aware of. I'd never heard of it before you mentioned it. Perhaps one of the more modern, supported XML modules would suffice.

Update: See also PerlMonks for the Absolute Beginner, since you posted in the wrong section of the forum.
