| Subject: | expat should be included in XML::Parser source |
It would be very convenient if the expat sources were included with
XML::Parser, or XML::Parser at least could download and compile
them. This is especially a problem on Mac OS X, which doesn't ship
with expat by default (it can be optionally installed with X11, but
XML::Parser won't pick that up by default).
Expat is MIT licensed and should be compatible. It seems to be
accepted practice to include expat with other software (for example,
Python ships with expat sources).
