Ugghh. Potato still has 5.005...

I can understand you reluctance to upgrade, but potato is ancient
history and woody has been stable for a *long* time.

Even if you didn't want to/couldn't upgrade to woody, you could still
build and install a local version of perl-5.6.1 (perl's install is a
piece of cake compared to Xerces). It won't interfere with perl in
/usr/local/bin.

You would have to move to XML-Xerces-1.5.7 if you didn't want use
Perl-5.6. You will also need to grab the version of Xerces-C that is
compatible from:

  http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-c/nightly/2001-09-10/

The problem is no one on this list is likely to be of much help when
it comes to problems if you're not using XML-Xerces-1.5.2_0. Not only
is it the latest, but I finally straightened out all the irritating
version dependancies, and fixed all the Unicode bugs (which is why you
need perl-5.6). 

Also, I notice you're from Canada. If you need to support any
character set besides ASCII (like ISO-8859-1) you cannot do that with
older version of XML::Xerces.

jas.
