Hi Monks,

I have an XML::Twig application that runs fine here on Windows XP, also at another site on XP. At a third site, someone is trying to run the same script on a 64 bit Linux system, and it is failing.

The error reported is...

"syntax error at line 1, column 68, byte 68 at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm line 187"

... I do not have a Linux system, or a 64 bit system, so I can't try it myself. Searching, I can't find any issues.

I've suggested checking how up-to-date the Twig and Parser modules are. Is there anything else obvious I can advise the user or try to get furterh info? The user is a non-programmer.
