I have been bitten by this on a few installs, so i thought I'd reply..



the issue (as i remember it) is that debian|ubuntu and cpan both  
fight over the 'ParserDetails.ini' location


if you do a locate, youll find there are 2 copies of the file, both  
different??
one created by debian-package, one created by cpan



$ locate ParserDetails.ini
/etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
/usr/share/perl5/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini

so, make sure they are the same (or symlink/delete one of them??)


next, have the [XML::LibXML::SAX] block at the *bottom* of the file


$ cat /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini
--------------------------------------------------------
[XML::SAX::PurePerl]
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1


[XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser]
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1


[XML::LibXML::SAX]
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1
--------------------------------------------------------


then test....

$ perl ./misc/sax_parser_print.pl
XML::LibXML::SAX=HASH(0x81fe548)                          <<<<<  
CORRECT PARSER, YAY!!
