Thanks, Brian! This is a little scary stuff for me I have to admit. I
spent some time looking through the Makefile.PL now and I am really not
sure what to change (I am afraid to break something). If I do find out,
should I then just run "sudo make install" in that directory? And,
should I then do the same in the other directories that cpan downloaded,
like "XML-LibXML-Common-0.13/", "XML-NamespaceSupport-1.08/",
"XML-SAX-0.12/"?

I sure wish this was easier. I keep wondering why I didn't have problems
the first time around, and my guess is it's that I didn't install libxml
using Fink, then. I guess cpan is confused by the location in which Fink
installs the files, right?

Thanks,
Ingo
