Hi all,

So.. IMHO, this was an old issue:

This has been documented well on the Perl-XML FAQ:
http://perl-xml.sourceforge.net/faq/#parserdetails.ini

Solution:
1.
After installing Installing XML::SAX (via cpan), I should install
other module: XML::SAX::Expat or XML::LibXML.

2.
Proceed by running:
perl -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl))->save_parsers()"

3.
Make sure that "ParserDetails.ini" file (anywhere on the system) has
only these 2 lines:

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

4.
Test it (inside your extracted Koha direcotry, mine: ./koha-3.8.2):

# /usr/local/bin/perl misc/sax_parser_print.pl
Koha wants something like:
    XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)
You have:
    XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x2671db8)
Looks good.

or:

# ./misc/sax_parser_print.pl
Koha wants something like:
    XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x81fe220)
You have:
    XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser=HASH(0x1187e78)
Looks good.

Any comments are valuable (especially) for me.
