Gahhhh!!!!!! Why didn't it just say that?!?! ... OK, installed that and got over that hurdle. The CPAN shell now seems happy with XML::LibXML. So I moved on to the next on that list: XML::LibXSLT. This bummed out in CPAN shell. So I downloaded the source again. It created the makefile OK. It ran make OK. But it drops out when I run make test - see log inserted below. So what do I do? Try and force it to install (do I do that with "force" in the CPAN shell) or is something else broken here that I need to fix? Sorry for all the hand-holding .... I feel so close! This'll be a real achievement when I finally get through it all! And thanks SOOO much for reading that error for me, Tom - I didn't get it at all!
