First of all, Juerd++, great detective work.

If anyone knows how to contact Clark Cooper, please send him this page so the problem can be fixed in the real distribution.

I think that Clark Cooper has all but disappeared from the face of the earth. There was a thread on the perl-xml mailing list at the beginning of this year regarding that very problem. I know that matts offered to maintain the module but I've since dropped off the list and don't know how much further that went.

Try posting your findings to the mailing list and see who bites...

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
