Could not find ParserDetails.ini in C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX

Cursed damnation. The problem is caused I think by the ActiveState installation for XML::SAX. So you’ll need to uninstall it from the using ppm tool. I had to uninstall in this order:

  • XML-SAX-Writer
  • XML-Filter-BufferText
  • XML-SAX-Simple
  • XML-SAX-Machines
  • XML-SAX

Then try to install in that order using the cpan shell:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

But that didn’t work on my machines, so you could download the packages from CPAN and drag the files over to your c:\perl\site\lib folders or reinstall over PPM and forget about the error… if you can’t find the needed packages from your default set up then look into installing them from another server.

Not much help to my own problems, am I?! :)
