This test failure is actually due to a bug in XML::SAX::RTF (which has been reported to the author). The problem is that XML::SAX::RTF incorrectly registers itself as an XML parser. Since it is the most recently registered module it is the default.
The fix is to edit this file: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/.../XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini And completely remove the section relating to XML::SAX::RTF. (This won't stop XML::SAX::RTF performing its real job - parsing RTF files and generating SAX events). Regards Grant root wrote:
