    i am using linux :Linux 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:58:04 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

      That's the kernel you're using. But what distribution (and what version of distribution)? I'm guessing perhaps a RHEL, Fedora, or CentOS installation?

      Update 1: Looks like that kernel was distributed with CentOS 4.6.

      Update 2: Both libxml2 and XML::LibXML are available from the CentOS 4.6 archives. These are much older versions than current of course, since 4.6 is pretty darn old. These are the packages, install using a package manager.

      • libxml2-2.6.16-10.i386.rpm
      • libxml2-devel-2.6.16-10.i386.rpm
      • perl-XML-LibXML-1.58-1.i386.rpm

      Perhaps it's time to upgrade that OS?

      Ok, enough sysadmin; back to perl!
