I installed XML::LibXML locally (without root) into a situation where my libxml2 was also installed locally. I was having trouble with it not detecting the installed library that I eventually resolved by commenting out the tests in Makefile.PL
I had PERL5LIB=/home/simon/local/lib/perl/5.6.1:/home/simon/local/share/perl/ 5.6.1
and I ran perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/simon/local
Then running make gave the following error:
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/perl/5.6.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp', needed by `LibXML.c'. Stop.
This is a problem (I guess) with MakeMaker not applying the proper prefix to find xsubpp (which is installed in /home/simon/local/share/perl/5.6.1/ExtUtils/) I hacked the Makefile to manually change the path.
