in thread Using XML::Saxon::XSLT2 Errors

It is already configurable. Look a few lines further down at the import method:

sub import
{
    my ($class, @args) = @_;
    shift @args
        if @args && exists $args[0] && defined $args[0] && $args[0] =~
+ /^[\d\.\_]{1,10}$/;
    Inline->import(Java => 'DATA', CLASSPATH=>$classpath, @args);
}

[download]

So the CLASSPATH => $classpath can be overridden by passing arguments to import a la:

use XML::Saxon::XSLT2 CLASSPATH => "/path/to/saxonb.jar";

There is an example of providing arguments to the import method in the documentation (though not the CLASSPATH argument).

However I've not played with it much. If your application contains multiple instances of "use XML::Saxon::XSLT2" it's probably only the first one that counts. To be sure, you can supply the path on the command line like:

perl -MXML::Saxon::XSLT2=CLASSPATH,/path/to/saxonb.jar myscript.pl

PS: patches would be appreciated for this issue (or indeed for RT#66278 which is a long running one).

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name

    Ah, I was misled by this comment in the docs:
    It expects Saxon to be installed in either '/usr/share/java/saxon9he.jar' or '/usr/local/share/java/saxon9he.jar'.

    Anyway, I'm unlikely to submit any patches since I'm not the one trying to use the library :-)

    Thanks for explaining this. But how can I install the module? The code below from Makefile.PL seems to prevent the module from installation if the jar is not in one of the preset locations. 
    my %dynamic_config;
do {
unless (-e '/usr/share/java/saxon9he.jar'
    or  -e '/usr/local/share/java/saxon9he.jar'
    or  -e '/usr/share/java/saxonb.jar'
    or  -e '/usr/local/share/java/saxonb.jar'
    or  -e '/usr/local/share/java/classes/saxon9he.jar')
{
    warn "Need saxon9he.jar or saxonb.jar to be installed in /usr/shar
+e/java or /usr/local/share/java or /usr/local/share/java/classes.";
    exit 0;
}

      Edit the Makefile.PL and then install it?
