Greetings, O Wise Monks. I am hopeful that someome here in the Monastary who is better versed in using the XML modules can assist me, as this is my first time dealing with them.

Problem: I am currently using XML::Simple in an automation script that interacts with an XML-based API. However, some of the functionality that I will need to add in next will require a more elegant solution than XML::Simple to manage. I have decided to use XML::LibXML since it allows both DOM and SAX-based functionality. However, when compiling and installing the module, I do not get the Node.pm module, which contains methods like getFirstChild(), to access the data returned by the XML parser. Instead, I get the Nodelist.pm module, and the .pod file for Node.pm.

So my question is, is this a corrupt build of LibXML? Or am I just missing something simple that will build the Node.pm file? Like maybe Node.pm is found in a different XML module?

Since all systems are not created equal, below are the relevant parts of my environment that I'm working with:

Please let me know if you need more information. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
