but it fails to compile even after explicitly giving a path to eXpat

Yes - the Makefile.PL is not the best. I think that if you build XML::Parser the old fashioned way and begin with perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/home/me/lib EXPATINCPATH=/home/me/include it will work - though you may have to change (in the Makefile.PL) die <<'Expat_Not_Installed;'; to warn <<'Expat_Not_Installed;';. (I can't remember - perhaps that change only needs to be made if you build XML::Parser using CPAN.pm.)

I suspect ActivePerl will also work

Yes - should work. Interestingly enough, ActivePerl now works seamlessly with MinGW (and has done for a while) - and it comes with PPM already installed. This (imo) gives ActivePerl a slight edge over Strawberry Perl, at the moment. I'm hoping that future versions of Strawberry Perl will ship with both XML::Parser and the non-proprietary (CPAN) version of PPM pre-installed. That would (imo) definitely make Strawberry the more attractive option.

Cheers,
Rob

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
