Hi there - thanks for the reply. Because I don't have root access on this server all the Perl modules have been installed in a subdir of a user that owns all the files for the application (like a service account). These are the settings in the .bashrc for that user in question that were configured when I ran cpan with a -o to configure:

PATH="/home/user/perl5/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}"; export PATH;
PERL5LIB="/home/user/perl5/lib/perl5${PERL5LIB:+:${PERL5LIB}}"; export
+ PERL5LIB;
PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT="/home/user/perl5${PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT:+:${PERL_LO
+CAL_LIB_ROOT}}"; export PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT;
PERL_MB_OPT="--install_base \"/home/user/perl5\""; export PERL_MB_OPT;
PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=/home/user/perl5"; export PERL_MM_OPT;

All modules were installed from scratch using cpanm. And to your point about XML::Parser::XPAT - that's what I'm puzzled about. It installed just fine. So I don't understand why the Parser would fail.
