Yes, I discovered this a few weeks ago. It looks like libxml is not
reentrant, so for perl you need to use some other XML library. Very
annoying.
Ugh! That is worse than a simple library link incompatibility.

Seems to me that Perl (?) is calling functions it is not supposed to call
- I'm guessing due to assumptions about mismatching lifecycles. The
parsing functions themselves are supposedly reentrant.
Maybe someone can trace the libxml calls ... not sure how exactly ...
given Alvaro's example, it doesn't seem likely to me that this is due to
a call to xmlCleanupParser(), but maybe the perl code invokes by simply
doing "use XML::LibXML;" calls that for some perverse reason.
My interest wasn't so high that I wanted to spend a lot of time on it.
If it didn't work I was just going to move on.
