Have you tried reemerging XML-Parser? I remember something like this happened to me not long ago due to unclean shutdown (and therefore some corrupt file).

[Comment 2 John Shaw 2004-11-23 10:00:11 UTC]

Re-emerging XML-Parser did do the trick, but I have no idea why it wasn't working correctly in the first place...  I doubt I had any file corruption, this box hasn't been powered down in ages.  I'll try and see if I can track down anything that makes sense for a cause to this problem.

[Comment 3 Joe McCann (RETIRED) 2004-11-23 11:56:38 UTC]

please search. You didn't update your perl modules after a perl upgrade
