I'm having trouble installing XML::Parser using because it can't find the -lexpat library
Have you tried reading and following the instructions that are displayed along with the "I can't find libexpat" message? They're quite clear:

If expat is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the
following options to Makefile.PL:

EXPATLIBPATH=... To set the directory in which to find libexpat

EXPATINCPATH=... To set the directory in which to find expat.h

For example:

perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/home/me/lib EXPATINCPATH=/home/me/include
Thank you very much. This does work. I didn't get such a helpful error message however, just "Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lexpat". Where does the above message come from? (I'm not trying to be dense, I'm just new to this.)
