        Did you try to install it via cpan XML::XPath? There's no Makefile.PL in what you downloaded?

    I thought Strawberry Perl came with XML::LibXML (update: checked, it does). Why would you need XML::XPath?

    XML::LibXML does XPath significantly better/faster than XML::XPath, and is actively maintained.

      Hi, i readed one question in perlmonks, that question is extract some part of xml data and create word document. for that question they suggested xml::xpath is best so i written like that.

      #!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
 use strict;
 use XML::XPath; 
# use XML::XPath::XMLParser;
 $file="data.xml"; 
my $xp = XML::XPath->new(filename => $file); 
open(INFO3, "+>$file.doc"); 
 # print INFO3 "Perl Xpath\n\n";         
print INFO3 "Data INFORMATION:\n\n"; 

        foreach my $data ($xp->find('data')->get_nodelist){ 
                print INFO3 "number:"; 
                print INFO3 $data->find('info')->string_value."\n"; 
                print INFO3 "information:";

         } 

 print "Converted XML file into WORD file\n\n"; 
print $file." WORD document generated"; 
close(INFO3);

        Well, perhaps "they" were wrong (where is this question?). XML::LibXML should already be installed, so read some other questions and answers (and maybe the documentation), and just use XML::LibXML

        :) Yes you do, you should install the module by using cpan or running Makefile.PL as explained in Re^3: problem with xml::xpath.pm
