None of the above, I tried v1.66 for Perl 5.8. Cheers Harry	[reply]

Could be worth a try. Earlier you reported the error Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/XML/LibXML/LibXML.dll' for module XML::LibXML: load_file:The specified procedure could not be found .. That's fairly typical of what happens when your XML C library doesn't provide the required symbols (eg, because it's too old). So ... if the trouchelle rep provides the opportunity to download an XML dll, you should probably accept the offer. Or, you should try the uwinnipeg version which, I'm confident, will provide you with the offer to download any other pre-requisites. (The trouchelle rep is usually reliable in this regard, too.) If the XML::LibXML binaries that you're using expect a certain set of symbols from the XML C library, then there's little point in providing a C library that doesn't provide those symbols (functions).

I had already tried that, i.e. "accept their offer" but it didn't work either. I should have mentioned that in Update 2. I have some options left which I will try as well (given time...). But after reading Problems installing XML::LibXML for Perl5.10 on Win32 platform I got a bit depressed (reinventing buggy wheels?). I am going to try to build it myself and keep my eye on my bug report. Cheers Harry	[reply]
