All,

I am trybing to install XML::LibXML v 1.58 and am getting the foloowing
compile problems:

perl-libxml-mm.c: In function `nodeC2Sv':
perl-libxml-mm.c:968: parse error before `*'
perl-libxml-mm.c:972: `decoded' undeclared (first use in this function)
perl-libxml-mm.c:972: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
perl-libxml-mm.c:972: for each function it appears in.)

I googled for this and found:

But, the version cited in this post does not exist on CPAN (at least I
could not find it).
