[Expat-discuss] Compile / use under Cygwin

[Darren Young]

I am trying to use the Perl XML::DOM module which at some point uses the
Expat library. I pulled down the Expat source and that _seems_ to compile
and install.

Next, I compiled the XML::Parser module with EXPATLIBPATH and EXPATINCPATH
set to /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include (during the perl
Makefile.PL). It seems to compile and install, at least there are no error
messages..

Now, when I run the script that "use"s the XML::DOM module, I get:

Can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/cygwin/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.dl

Any ideas where this could be coming from? The Expat library? The
XML::Parser module? Any pointers would be most helpful. Thanks.
