I tried copying to a few places with no luck. Here's what I think happened: I am so inexperienced with this, and it is taking so long to research the steps and stumble thru them that by the time I find out what to do next I've forgotten where I left off.
I must have not done the make install on expat. After I did it, I re-did perl -MCPAN -e shell / install XML::Parser, and lo-and-behold! it worked! I guess I need to write stuff down. I say that everytime and I never learn.

I want to thank all you patient and wise brothers for tolerating my ignorance.

But, I'll be one of you someday!!
