This is vaguely a follow-up question to one I asked earlier about building Perl v5.10.

Cpantesters reports that my dist, NoSQL::PL2SQL, is failing on v5.10 and v5.12, but ok on previous and later versions. I ended up testing on Perl 5.12 and got this error:

perl: symbol lookup error: /home/jim/perl5/lib/perl5/i686-linux/auto/X
+ML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootch
+eck

As far as I can tell, cpantesters has not experienced similar problems: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/211e1a46-7e7b-11e2-8ed7-f0cfab4d37fd. Notwithstanding, I also found this report: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3731.

Can anyone here shed any illumination?

Thanks!
