Hi Monks,

I am working on a Windows 2003 32bit Server with Perl 5.8.8 and I am trying to build and install XML-Parser-2.34. I have downloaded the latest Expat-2.0.0. I added "D:\Expat-2.0.0\Libs" to my PATH and Lib PATH and I added "D:\Expat-2.0.0\Source\lib" to my include path (Not sure if that is correct).

When I go to build XML-Parser-2.34 I recieve some warnings, but no errors. When I test the build everything fails. Here is a sample of the failure messages: 

D:\Software\Perl\XML-Parser-2.34>nmake test

Thank you for any help that some one can provide.
