It looks like you are just having the typical problem of the perl binary not
the XML module in it's @INC path. You might want to check in
/usr/local/lib/perl5 and /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl for any other
versions of perl installed, or a 'where perl' or 'which perl', to see if
there are any other perl binaries installed. Perhaps there is another
perl installation on the system that has the XML module.
If the system does not have the XML module installed and you do not have
root access to install the module, you can install the module in the
same directory as your script, though you'll have to create the
directories by hand and do the installation manually. You'd have to
download and compile/build the XML module, then create the necessary
directories and place the appropriate files there. For example:
ls -l:
XML/Simple.pm
XML.pm
Something like that.

Are you trying to install ActivePerl as a user into your home directory
structure? I'm not sure if this will work not not, as I haven't tried
it before. Looks like the above compile is only throwing back the
single error of not being able to find the Unicode::String module,
though I don't know if it is expecting that to be installed in the host
system or not. Seems silly if it would require a module that it didn't
ship with. You may want to search through the installation source for
any file or directory called "Unicode" and see if it is there but just
not finding it.
