Hi Jim ...

I've just installed the current xfce mint long-term-support distro on my

that gip now doesn't work. This seems to be because at least some of the
relevant perl modules aren't installed by default. However I can't work out
which one(s) I need because the package names listed by synaptic I can't
relate to the specific items/locations gip lists as being awol.
The problem seems to be with "XML/libXML.pm" - although it may well be
more than that. I can't tell as I know zip about perl.
Can someone please explain which packages I should install for gip to work
as usual?
I need various modules for Perl to run GiP, GetFlashVideos (doesn't work
any more, use YouTube-Dl instead), and the W3c web page checking
script. The complete list I have been using is as follows, but it's
been a long time since I used it last, so I don't know how up-to-date it
is, and I've forgotten which modules relate to which requirement:
Authen::SASL
Compress::Zlib
Crypt::Rijndael
LWP
Module::Find
MP3::Info
MP3::Tag
Net::SMTP::SSL
Net::SMTP::TLS
Net::SMTP::TLS::ButMaintained
Term::ProgressBar
WWW::Mechanize
XML::Simple
Data::AMF
AFAICR, LibXML is a dependency of XML::Simple, and, as you suggest, on
Ubuntu systems you install a module using apt-get. I setup and
configure Ubuntu using a bash script, and its module list contains
libxml2 and libxml2-dev, so most probably they're the ones you need.
