Re: FAIL MARC-XML-0.4 ppc-linux 2.2.14

Hi All:

> Test 2 failed, is there a file missing from the distribution?

No. While your "Perl -V" summary does not say for sure, I am confident you 
have installed the 2.28 version of XML::Parser. The perl-xml mailing list 
has been full of comments about how it broke backwards compatibility in 
the handling of external entities. It looks like another one joins the 
list :-(

I tested with Win95, NT4, linux (Redhat 5.2/intel), Perl 5.005 and 5.6.0 -
but always with XML::Parser 2.27.

I expect t/test1.t caused no problems. The "&Lstrok;" is the first 
external entity specified in the test sequence. I'm not sure how soon I 
can get to an update that does "Parser version detection". I'll look into 
it. Thanks for the clear report.
