Gorby,

You will find that this question is one of the more common ones. As windows does not ship with all the correct bits that you would expect in a proper operating system, you are forced to rely on the good nature of other Windows users to compile and link code for you.

The following threads may prove useful:

• XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT ppd
• Modules in the Windows environment
• Adding CPAN Modules to Active State Perl
• CrazyPPM repository, interested?
• XML parser
• which XML module?
• perl/XML development
• Win32 5.8 repository
• XML::Twig, or something else?
• Perl & XML & LibXML

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —
