Building XML::Parser and getting it wrong everytime

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

Hi, I am quite new to Perl and i require help/suggestion/direction on the following,

// Building the XML::Parser module that could parse external DTD

- I downloaded the expat-source(expat-2.0.1), configured(default-setting-mode), built and installed it on my HP-UX (Itanium) machine.
- I downloaded the XML::Parser module (Version 2.36), used installed perl and installed expat-library and expat-include paths and then built and installed the Module, but the problem is I am unable to parse external DTD :(

Any ideal way to make sure,

- building and installing expat-libraries and
- building and installing XML-Parser "to parse external DTD"

Please help

The Code Works fine, i used an older 5.8.8 perl-release on HPUX (which had XML-Parser, prebuilt - it worked perfectly), but as i tried building and installing expat and XML-Parser in the new-release, i am hitting upon this. I had done the following Triaging 1. Tared the XML-Parser module from the release that worked and untared it on the new one - The Parsing worked 2. Copied over ONLY the "Expat.so" file, from "/opt/perl_32/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so" and replaced it on the NEW-Release -- The Parsing Worked 3. The Issue is therefore with "Expat.so", that i had built. The XML-Parser module generates the Expat.so, which in turn uses the expat-library. I had built and installed both the expat-library and XML-Parser Module, i am not sure where i am going wrong or missing anything You could help me if i am ale to built the expat-library or XML-Module right, to get the external-DTD parsed	[reply]
