You did a good job of providing information on your distribution of perl, but you didn't tell me exactly what test is failing. I should point out though that it is practically imposible for the tests to fail if XML::LibXML is installed correctly. The tests are very simple, they just test the loading of the modules togther and individually and finally a test to ensure that the inheritance from XML::LibXML. My recommendation is to double check to make sure XML::LibXML is installed and working correctly.

Ah, it would appear that XML::LibXML is the problem after all. It isn't that it is not working properly, but rather it is an older version that doesn't support everything XML::XForms::Generator needs. You can see that by these couple of lines from your output: Checking if your kit is complete...^M Looks good^M Warning: prerequisite XML::LibXML 1.52 not found at /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 343.^M Go ahead and upgrade to the latest XML::LibXML and tell me what happens. I have this feeling everything will be golden. In fact, I think you will find that your XML::LibXML scripts will also work better as in recent versions of XML::LibXML some memmory leaks were found and corrected.

Uhm, if your module NEEDS a particular version, then you might want to consider to code the dependency into your Makefile.PL: 'PREREQ_PM' => { 'XML::LibXML' => 1.52, .... A 'warning' is a _warning_ and that single line no one will spot easily. Show quoted text

corrected. If I can get it installed, as it fails numerous tests here. Thx! \rho

The tests work now, although with minor annoyances: t/01_use............Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1 Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1 Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1 Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1 Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1 Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1 Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1 Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1 Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1 Some names are not tags at (eval 3) line 1

If you look at the Makefile.PL you will see the: 'PREREQ_PM' => { 'XML::LibXML' => 1.52, .... stuff is already in the there ... hence why you got the warning in the first place. I will look into making it die if it doesn't find it though. As far as the other warnings you get with XML::LibXML - my best advice to you is to also keep up-to-date on the libxml C library that is the heart of all of this. On the multiple platforms that I code and test on I haven't had any issues with the released versions of XML::LibXML giving me bad mojo on the tests as long as I had the latest of both pieces of software. I don't currently have a Debian box up and running, but I will ask an associate to test on it to be sure.
