in thread Benchmarks of XML Parsers

How do I find that out? (Debian system)

Update: I'm guessing libexpat 1.0.0 and libxml2 2.6.27 from the file names I found in /usr/lib: 

/usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 -> libexpat.so.1
/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 -> libexpat.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.0.0

/usr/lib/libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.2.6.27
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.2.6.27
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.27

[download]

Update: um.. The package manager says libexpat1 1.95.8(-3.4) and libxml2 2.6.27(-dfsg-6) were installed. Is libexpat1 something different?

    Not sure, I would check with ldd 
    #!/usr/bin/perl --

use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::LibXML;
use XML::Parser;

for my $so( grep /xml/i, @DynaLoader::dl_shared_objects ){
  print "$so\n";
  print `ldd $so\n`;
}
__END__

      That array is empty (!?), confirmed with Data::Dumper.

      Update: There appears to be a line missing from my install of DynaLoader (!!!). Once I added it, I got:

      That doesn't seem to include any version info?

      Update: The bug was fixed in DynaLoader 1.05 which comes with Perl 5.8.{4,5,6,7,8,9}. I'm using Perl 5.8.8, but DynaLoader is just 1.04. WTF?!
