Hello all,

I have to use a XML parser for creating, parsing, validating xml documents. For this i found out that XML::LibXML could be used. I downloaded the latest from CPAN. But i was not able to get this intalled and working.

First I have to install and use this XML module with Rational PERL(CQPERL, RATLPERL) which comes with installation of Clearquest. Hence i cannot use PPM to install the modules. So I have to copy paste the same.

I created a folder called XML under C:\Program Files\Rational\Common\lib\perl5\5.6.1
Then i placed the following files under the XML folder

LibXML.pm
LibXML.pod
NamespaceSupport.pm
SAX.pm
[download]

Where Namespacesupport and SAX are the prerequisites for installing LibXML.

I also downloaded the SAX and Namespacesupport from CPAN and placed under the XML folder

The LibXML folder under XML (C:\Program Files\Rational\Common\lib\perl5\5.6.1\XML\LibXML) contains all the files from the .tar file.

Also I copied the XML::Common module under the XML\LiBXML folder
. Then i copied the common.dll along with the other files: common.pm, common.exp, common.bs, common.lib under C:\Program Files\Rational\Common\lib\perl5\5.6.1\auto\XML\LibXML\Common

i also downlaoded the Libxml2.dll and placed it under C:\Program Files\Rational\Common\lib\perl5\5.6.1\auto\XML\LibXML\Common

Now when i try to create a small perl application

#!/usr/bin/perl
use XML::LibXML;
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
[download]

and try to run via CQPERL (cqperl file.pl)
i get an application error with the following message:

AppName: cqperl.exe
AppVer: 5.6.1.629
ModName: common.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 0000173d
[download]

and with this CQPERL crashes.

This CQPERL is of PERL version 5.6.1.629

What am i doing wrong here?

Is there any other easy way of installing this LIBXML Parsers?

IT would be very helpful if someone assist me in installing this.

Thanks a ton in advance
Best Regards
Karthik

P.S. More info about CQPERL
