Module installation Error

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

Hi, I try to install modules from ppm. It shows error for all modules while installing, as shown below :

====================
Install 'XML-XSLT' version 0.48 in ActivePerl 5.8.4.810.
====================
Downloaded 26792 bytes.
Extracting 9/9: blib/arch/auto/XML/XSLT/.exists

Error is:

Unable to recognise encoding of this document at C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/

How to avoid this error?. Thanks in advance.

This actually is a warning, not an error, in that the installation still proceeds. The issue is a known one, with a workaround at present being to use a default SAX parser other than XML::SAX::PurePerl. You can do this by: installing, for example, XML-SAX-ExpatXS; issuing the following command to register it (all on one line): `C:\>perl -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::ExpatXS))->sa +ve_parsers()"` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

XML::SAX::PurePerl

installing, for example, XML-SAX-ExpatXS;

issuing the following command to register it (all on one line):

C:\>perl -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::ExpatXS))->sa
+ve_parsers()"
