I found this post when searching for info on my problem, but although the error message is the same my situation is a little different.
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=646596

I am getting a compile error in Eclipse when I try to use XML::LibXML. I have installed this package with PPM and I am running with ActiveState on a Windows box. It was my understanding that PPM would handle pulling in any dependencies necessary automatically when I selected XML-LibXML for install.

The error message I receive is:
Compilation failed in require
A fatal error (trappable)
Perl could not compile a file specified in a C<require> statement.
Perl uses this generic message when none of the errors that it
encountered were severe enough to halt compilation immediately.


Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Here's what's showing in the Details tab when I click on my installed XML-LibXML package in PPM...
