A utility called xml2-config is ordinarily installed with libxml2. It is used to provide linker flags and the like. Is it present and in the $PATH in your installation? I believe that XML::LibXML uses that.

You don't say what kind of system you're on, but you may need to tell the .so loader about your new libs. Glibc systems use ldconfig, Solaris LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which also works for glibc ld.so. Your nonstandard PREFIX suggests that you are installing in a user directory which won't be on the compiler's include path or the linker's normal library path.
