I am working on Debian GNU/Linux etch and have installed perl packages
5.8.8 with CPAN configured.

In the cpan shell, I was to install the module of XML:arser, but it
always failed with many error message returned. I don't know whether
if it is the issue of source on the mirror server, OR is the tool
issue on my box. The error msg is quite long that I can only paste
the tail part of it.

Could anybody help look at this?
It's really appreciated of your help

Thanks so much Sherm, it works after I installed the libexpat-dev.
