use XML::Simple doesn't work

[bolly]

Hi,

In my script, simple comments, XML::Simple fails to compile, wit the error:

Can't locate XML/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2
+level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.

+mp73/Comments.pm line 6

.
Other modules required are found, and the the path to perl has been checked to be correct. There is a symlink from /usr/bin/perl to /usr/local/bon/perl as the serer has updated to perl 5.8.8 The relevant calls in the script are:

use XML::Simple;

# Following is to avoid "Can't locate object
# method SWASHNEW" errors in Perl 5.6.1
if ($[ < 5.008) { use utf8; }

my $default_config_file = '';
our $default_section_name = '';

# Force XML:arser in XML::Simple
$XML::Simple:REFERRED_PARSER = 'XML:ARSER';

ANy tips, suggestions keenly welcome, JOhn

The error message indicates that XML::Simple is either improprly installed on your server or not installed at all.

If you own the server you'll need to install XML::Simple.

If you don't own the server you'll need to contact your hosting company.
