First of all, thanks for all your help. It's much appreciated. I have made it a bit further. Now I get this error

I have LibXML2 installed with homebrew, and I have XML::LibXML installed

XML::LibXML is up to date. (2.0206)

XML::LibXML ran the testing and building phase fine. I think my issue originally was the path in my bash_profile file wasn't correct, I added this

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:$PATH

and all worked fine, or at least XML::LibXML tested, and installed without an error.

My question is how do I find out what object isn't loading? The point it stops at is when LibXML.pm call for Common.pm, but that's installed, and the two requirements for that are installed as well. Any thoughts? Or do you think it's time to go back to the drawing board.
