XML::LibXML on Mac OS X: it worked!

[Marco Baroni]

Thanks to the responses I've got to my [EMAIL PROTECTED] posting, plus 
further discussion on the Perl-XML list, I was finally able to install 
XML::LibXML on my computer (OS X 10.2.6 with perl 5.8.0 built from the 
CPAN source).

I had failed with the libxml2 library installed via fink and the 
pre-compiled version for OS X available from http://xmlsoft.org/.

However, after I built libxml2 from source (downloaded as a tar.gz 
archive from xmlsoft), installation of the latest XML::LibXML via the 
CPAN shell went very smoothly, and the module is up and running!

Perhaps, the note about Mac OS X in the XML::LibXML README is too 
pessimistic?

Thanks to all those who gave advice.

Regards,

Marco
