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
