Re^2: XML::Simple problems

I haven't done anything with XML in scripts for two months, and I haven't installed anything. The only thing I installed recently was the GIMP.

Also, one of the cpan prompts I posted says XML::LibXML is up to date.

It doesn't matter whether the version of XML::LibXML installed on your machine is the same (or newer) than the one on CPAN. You need to recompile it to match it up with its prerequisites that changed below it. But feel free to ignore my approach. Potentially, the GIMP upgraded some external libraries, like `libxml`. Review your operating system upgrade logs, and if you want to be sure, restore an old machine state from backup and check against that.	[reply] [d/l]
