Cygutils Perl module RPMs; XML::Parser, XML::DOM; Unicode

[Michael Hoffman <hoffmanm at cshl dot org>]

A quick question is: are the Cygutils perl module RPMs still being
maintained? Charles Wilson reports at
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-05/msg00660.html> that there
is an RPM for XML::Parser, but I cannot find it on the new Cygutils
web site.

I couldn't get XML::Parser to test correctly because of some Unicode
issues, described below with a workaround. The reason these are
failing is that perl is failing to decode literals like "\xe7\xa5\x89"
as UTF-8, even with use utf8. Changing it to
pack('U1',unpack('U1',"\xe7\xa5\x89")) provides a workaround. Does
anyone know why I have to do this?

I could not get XML::Parser to build with the latest win32bin release
of expat, 1.95.2, nor could I get the source of that version to
compile. The expat bugs indicate that 1.95.2 might have some cygwin
problems
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=436688&group_id=10127&atid=110127>.

Sadly, I have even more trouble getting things like XML::DOM to work
(due in part to failure for testing of libxml-enno-1.02).

Any suggestions?

Here's a more detailed summary of the tests:
