Subject: installation fails MacOS X 10.2 (Perl 5.6.0)
Believe or not, the latest MacOS X version comes with Perl 5.6.0. If you are trying to install XML::SimpleObject and want to use the XML::Parser, it still tries to build the version using XML::LibXML. It seems that during the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage, it recurses into all subdirectories looking for Makefile.PL. It finds it in LibXML (eventhough you don't want to use that version) and then fails because XML::LibXML isn't installed. The workaround is to rename LibXML/Makefile.PL to something else, so it isn't detected. This may all be bug/feature of the ExtUtils::MakeMaker that comes with Perl 5.6.0.
