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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
