That most likely is a warning, not an error. Try running the following at a command prompt (all on one line): `C:\>perl -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl))->save_parsers()"` [download] which should create a file ParserDetails.ini beneath C:\Perl\site\lib\XML\SAX\. After this the warning should disappear. If you're using our uwinnipeg repository to install XML-RSS (which, by the way, I just upgraded to version 1.22), you should ensure this appears in the list of repositories within your ppm utility, in order that the prerequisites get installed. Assuming you're using the ppm gui of ActivePerl 819, this can be done through the Edit -> Preferences -> Repositories menu; an appropriate location is http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/. This can also be done via the command `C:\>ppm rep add uwinnipeg http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I get the error "could not find ParserDetails.ini" It works fine for me - looks like you have a botched PPM installation. Sorry, I don't know what the problem with your PPM is. There's a PPM mailing list (subscribe at http://listserv.activestate.com/mailman/mysubs) if you can't get satisfactory help with the problem here (or elsewhere). Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Ok. I got rid of the error "cannot find ParserDetails.ini". I did this by uninstalling XML::SAX and reinstalling it again. Anyone that needs help should check out this page. http://perl-xml.sourceforge.net/faq/#parserdetails.ini	[reply]
