I've spent a few hours playing with my Perl installation and finally 
have found the problem with libXML. So now your perl scripts work fine 
for me.

Just two things that I noticed:

- your perl script recognizes fine the CACHE_CONF setting and reads 
cache.conf from the directory specified. However the xmltv.exe version 
doesnt seem to recognize it and it always asks me if I want to configure 
the cache.

- when called without --days argument, it downloads 5 days instead of 7. 
Not sure if this is on purpose or not. Anyway it works fine if --days is 
set to 7.

Thanks for the help!

Chris
