i do have expat installed and no PurePerl package on my system, so i wonder, what's this about. /var/tmp/portage/XML-Simple-2.15/work/XML-Simple-2.15 * Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker Checking installed modules ... ============================================================================= Fatal error: Your default XML parser (XML::SAX::PurePerl) is broken. There are known bugs in the PurePerl parser included with version 0.13 and 0.14 of XML::SAX. The XML::Simple tests will fail with this parser. One way to avoid the problem is to install XML::SAX::Expat - it will install itself as the system default XML parser and then you will be able to install XML::Simple successfully. XML::SAX::Expat is also much faster than XML::SAX::PurePerl so you probably want it anyway. ============================================================================= !!!
