Just a note that the most recent version of our binary Mac OS X release includes the module for both perl 5.6 and perl 5.8, and the install script should (hopefully) install the correct one for your system. > You can get expat from http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ and > XML::Parser from http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XML-Parser-2.34/ > I think you need to install both of these. If you are using linux, you are better off installing your distribution's package of this: on debian, you want to install the "libxml-parser-perl" package, and on redhat and mandrake it is called "perl-XML-Parser". Not sure about other distributions. John McPherson
