Dear Monks,

It could take a long time* to figure this out but I want to enjoy Hauke D's lovely Badge::Simple module right now! I guess my computer has a few versions of libxml2 cause it says this when failing to install XML::LibXML: 

Failed test 'LIBXML__VERSION == LIBXML_RUNTIME_VERSION'...Your setup of library paths is incorrect!

Please help me setup the library paths correctly: 

cpanm -v Badge::Simple
...
==> Found dependencies: XML::LibXML
...
t/01basic.t ........................................ Warning: program compiled against libxml 209 using older 208

brew info libxml2 
libxml2: stable 2.9.9 (bottled), HEAD [keg-only]
GNOME XML library

==> Caveats
libxml2 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.
* I tried to install a year ago when Badge::Simple was released but could not figure out my problem with libxml2 :-/

Thank you
