Installed with yum and it worked. # yum -y install perl-XML-Simple On 24/01/07, Krsnendu dasa <krsnendu108@gmail.com> wrote:

Can you please help me?

When I try to install on K12LTSP-6 (Fedora Core 6) # perl -MCPAN -e 'install "XML::Simple"'

It tells me: Checking installed modules ... =============================================================================

Fatal error: Your default XML parser (XML::SAX::PurePerl) is broken.

There are known bugs in the PurePerl parser included with version 0.13 and 0.14 of XML::SAX. The XML::Simple tests will fail with this parser.

One way to avoid the problem is to install XML::SAX::Expat - it will install itself as the system default XML parser and then you will be able to install XML::Simple successfully. XML::SAX::Expat is also much faster than XML::SAX::PurePerl so you probably want it anyway.

When I try to install XML::SAX::Expat it tries to prepend XML::Parser which fails. The last few lines are as follows:
