However, I had to remove references to >xmlwf in the makefile to make that work. You can get expat to compile if you remove "-static" from all the places it occurs in Examples/Makefile and xmlwf/Makefile.

Yes, you have to do perl Makefile.pl EXPATLIBPATH=/usr/local/lib EXPATINCPATH/usr/local/include With these changes, I was able to get XML::Parser to work for my own Perl CGI application (http://www.lightandmatter.com/spotter/spotter.html). As I recall, I think I e-mailed someone relevant (Clark Cooper?) about this, but got no response. (My memory could be faulty.) The XML::Parser web page at http://wwwx.netheaven.com/~coopercc/xmlparser/intro.html gives Cooper's e-mail as coopercc at netheaven.HEDOESN'TWANTSPAM.com, but anyway, maybe it's something that should just be posted to the perl-xml mailing list. This has come up several times on this list. Is there anyone here who also subscribes to perl-xml and wants to try to initiate a discussion there? Heck, I could probably write up a patch to the makefile myself -- it's just a question of establishing contact with the maintainer and getting this trivial problem fixed for once and for all. Feel free to copy this message to perl-xml.
