I'm trying to install XML::Parser on 10.4, the instruction state:

To configure this module, cd to the directory that contains this README file
and type the following:

perl Makefile.PL

Alternatively, if you plan to install XML::Parser somewhere other than
your system's perl library directory. You can type something like this:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/me/perl INSTALLDIRS=perl

Then to build you run make.

make

You can then test the module by typing:

make test

When I try make the terminal complains that the command is not found.

If make is not found, you'll need to install the Developer Tools (Xcode) that came with your Tiger DVD, this package includes all the command line dev tools like gcc, g++, autoconf, make, install, etc...

That makes too much sense. Works much better that way. WHen I run the make test there are errors (see below). I'm installing XML Parser becasue it's a dependancy for SOAP Lite, but when I try to install SOAP lite after installing this it tells me XML parser isn't installed.

You need to make sure that Expat is installed. These Perl libraries are essentially wrappers built around Expat.

[gregjsmith]

I installed Expat then tried XML Parser again, and it still had the same errors.
