It was a known problem with older versions of Apache. Specifically, the Apache build process statically linked in expat (for mod_dav?) and XML::Parser dynamically loaded expat causing a symbol conflict/segfault. My understanding is that modern builds of Apache no longer bundle expat but use the system supplied one so both Apache and XML::Parser share the dynamically loaded one - which of course is the 'right answer'. I'm not sure what version that change came in at (1.3.22 rings a bell) although I guess it's possible that SUSE may have forced a static linkage. What version of XML::Simple are you using? If it is 1.08 or earlier, then the expat conflict is almost certainly your problem. You could upgrade to 1.08_01 which allows you to use any SAX parser (eg: XML::LibXML) instead of expat/XML::Parser. If you're already running version 1.08_01 and you have SAX installed then work out which parser module you're using (the last one in lib/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini). Try selecting a different one (by swapping the order around in the ini file). Regards Grant
