Actually installing XML::Parser normally installs Expat, at least with previous versions of XML::Parser, so you should not have to install Expat separately.

There are various versions of Expat out there, one that comes with Apache (for Xerces I think) and I think others (a Python one?). All are dynamically linked so you might have installed one that's not compatible with the version of XML::Parser you have.

That said I have no idea how to fix this! try installing XML::Parser 2.27 maybe? I think it uses yet-another-version of Expat.

Clark Cooper (for Perl), Sean McGrath (for Python) and others are currently trying to merge back all of the different versions (which still does not help you much I guess).
