I don't know exactly what it is, but I think you're missing the *-dev packages. You often need those, so if there are any related to the packages I install, I usually bring them along at least if I plan to do anything beyond simply using them. When I bump into this kind of problem with Debian, the first thing I do is to go to the packages search page, http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages first search through the packages, in any distro. If that doesn't work, I try searching through the files, in the lower search field. If you do that, it reveals you need libxml2-dev. > > Well, you _have_ installed XML::LibXSLT, right?

That's often how it is! :-) The Debian libxml2 maintainer is helping me with my problem, and I get the same feeling there... :-) > Thanks again for your encouragement and support! You're welcome!
