I was not able to fix it. But figured out where the problem lies:

The problem is coming from this line in the Makefile (line 639):
...
install_sax_expat :
@$(PERL) -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::Expat))->save_parsers()"
...
It seems like it is telling XML::SAX to add XML::SAX::Expat as a new parser. And then it doesn't find the Expat.pm file, since it is not installed at the final destination %p, but only in %i.
I am not sure what is going on here. Could you check what "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::Expat))->save_parsers()" does exactly? Maybe this needs to be run at actual install time (not build time). Then you would need to add a PostInstScript field with this command. And a custom install script doing only 'make pure_install' and 'make doc_install' whith the necessary parameters. But i am not sure here since i have no idea what xml-sax is actually doing.
Maybe somebody else has more ideas. Or you might need to ask the author of xml-sax.
Also, other packagers might have similar problems. Check other distributions like darwinports, gentoo, debian etc. for the solution of the xml-sax-expat package (if they have it).
A few random links about the problem:
1. <http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/#FAQ> ah... yes. And they seem to suggest something very similar.
2.
<http://packages.debian.org/testing/perl/libxml-sax-expat-perl>
How debian does it. Also very similar. Look at the patch they are applying:
<http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libx/libxml-sax-expat-perl/ libxml-sax-expat-perl_0.37-2.diff.gz>
3.
Opendarwin seems to have a port too. But the site seems to be down at the moment.
Here's the info file I am using:
If you are depending on versioned perl modules your module also has to be versioned. Below is the info file attached that i was using to test. What i changed in comparison to yours:
- Used Info2 and versioned perl variant
I recommend using Info2 for versioned perl packages. It makes adding
different perl versions later much easier.
- Change Homepage to an unversioned url.
Like this you won't need to change it if you update the package version.
Hope all this helps, Chris.
