OK, Chris' suggestion, while true, didn't solve the problem because when 
I tried to reinstall it automatically via CPAN, it said that it was 
already up-to-date.  However....

 Mike's solution triggered what I needed...a MANUAL re-install of 
XML::SAX ...and while it still didn't "ask whether ParserDetails.ini 
should be updated", it put the file out there where it needed to be 
nonetheless.

Now I just have one more (hopefully minor) question:  Is the following 
error/warning (beginning with the word "Subroutine...") anything I need 
to be concerned with before proceeding?  I've done a manual re-install 
of PDF::API2 and the error message still shows up:

.......
Checking perl modules ...
Subroutine PDF::API2::Resource::Font::Postscript::O_RDONLY redefined at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65.
 at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/PDF/API2/Resource/Font/Postscript.pm 
line 46

All required perl modules are installed.
