perd has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

UPDATE: I'm an ass. Thanks for those of you who helped... I has several perl binaries laying around in various locations that were mucking things up. Apparently I need to pay more attention to detail.

Re: XML + SCO + 5.6.1

    You could use Xerces.

    While it doesn't say it compiles on SCO, it should work.

      I tried this out... Unfortunately it also requires ExtUtils::MakeMaker.. Damn that module! Thanks for the help though. I guess I'll have to write a simple parser myself, I'd rather use something more feature rich though. I even tried old versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker but they still complained about the lib.pm missing.. Maybe there's a wrapper for lib.pm for old perl vers? Guess I better start searching!

        ExtUtils::MakeMaker is a core module. Has always been there, going back way before perl 5.6.1. Looks like something is horribly screwed with your Perl installation. Where did this perl 5.6.1 installation come from? Who built it? Help us out here with some example output from at least:

        perl -V
uname -a

        [download]

        In a normal Unix perl 5.6.1 installation, MakeMaker.pm resides in the perl installation tree in lib/5.6.1/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm. Try searching your Perl installation tree for the file MakeMaker.pm and let us know if it is there or not.

        That's interesting, given that the page I gave you said that it required Perl 5.6.0 as a minimum.
        Oh well.
