Did the package you downloaded also include a /lib and /bin, as well as the /include directory? In that case it's probably a binary distribution like this one.

If you have a c compiler and a make program( you should have both if you are using Strawberry Perl) You can find a source package here. Here's a direct link to libxml2.

Which version you go with is up to you, but either way, I think on windows the libxml2.dll needs to be installed somewhere in your PATH.

If you are using ActiveState perl instead, you may want to try a pre compiled PPM instead. First use "perl -v" to find out which version you are running.

For perl 5.8.*:

C:\> ppm
ppm> set repository theoryx http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/
ppm> install XML-LibXML
[download]

For perl 5.10.*:

C:\> ppm
ppm> set repository theoryx http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/
ppm> install XML-LibXML
[download]

This was very helpful and it worked like a charm!! I have been breaking my head on this since yesterday along with a couple of my friends who could not resolve this too!


Thank you very much! That was VERY helpful!

Thank you as well! Worked great! :)
