I'm sure that's almost exactly what the axkit faq tells you to do :-)
The problem is that the expat isn't in mod_dav, its in Apache, so even if
you don't have mod_dav installed, Apache compiles in expat. If at a later
date you feel you need mod_dav you can use the patches in the axkit
download directory.

Just a word of warning: XML::Parser is slower than you think. All the
method calls, back and forth from C to Perl, and having one of those for
every node in the XML document, is all very slow. Cache what you can,
whenever you can, or your platform won't scale very well. (speaking from
direct personal experience).
