That is a good point, we should actually have a link to download them.

hmmm... strange... maybe it's best if we add a page with simple install
instructions for the whole XML::Parser part

It's interesting, I've had exactly the same problem with XML::Parser when
I tested a fresh check-out on my laptop. I have a feeling it's a serious
issue that should be pointed out to the authors of XML::Parser

Thanks so much for your help, we will look into it today,
