I've been having troubles install XML::Parser on AIX under Perl 5.8.0 and the most recent version of expat. I'm not familiar with installing modules on AIX, so perhaps I'm missing something obvious....

Can anybody offer any advice to what might be going on, or... even better (or at least, just as good!): some hints on how to debug/fix these kinds of problems? I really don't know where to begin, so anything you can offer much appreciated.
