XML::Simple error

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

I am using CGI::App, HTML::Template, XML::Simple etc.
I am working on my webpage and doing alot of changes before testing. When I am done coding I receive the following error message:

Software error:
Error executing class callback in init stage: Can't locate object meth
+od "new" via package "XML::SAX::PurePerl" at /home/domains/zave/perl/
+lib/site_perl/5.8.7/XML/SAX/ParserFactory.pm line 43.
[download]

I narrowed it down so that my webpage will display, by removing a call I make in my baseclass when I load my config file (XML::Simple)

# get config file
$self->param('config' => XMLin($self->param('config_url')));
[download]

I don't believe thats the real error. I never had any problems with that line of code before I did my changes, unfortunatly, I can't undo my changes. I am using:

use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;
[download]

to catch most coding syntax errors, but I don't understand this new error. Does anyone now what could be wrong or does anyone now of some module which could give me even more specific error codes?

There's a few things that determine which XML parser is used in XML::Simple, see the Environment section of the XML::Simple docs. You probably don't want to be using XML::SAX::PurePerl if you can help it, if possible use either some other XML::SAX parser (e.g. XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser or XML::SAX::Expat) or the expat based XML::Parser. I wonder how you got XML::SAX::ParserFactory installed without XML::SAX::PurePerl since they are in the same bundle XML-SAX.	[reply]

XML::SAX::ParserFactory and XML::SAX::PurePerl are installed I tried to set the parser to XML::Parser, but I still get a similar error: `Error executing class callback in init stage: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 11, column 40, byte 458 at /ho +me/domains/zave/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/XML/Parser.pm lin +e 187` [download] It must be something I did, but I don't know what and how to solve it.
