RE: [Koha-zebra] Zebra setup suggestions, MARC::File::XML Probs

[Tümer Garip]

Hi,
I have solved the problem with M:F:X.
In fact the problem exists for windows platforms and  it has to do with
XML::SAX
Package that M::F::XML depends on. Any windows package using active perl
should reinstall XML::SAX from 
 ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms//XML-SAX.ppd
And not from the origional activeperl repository.
Further details at
http://perl-xml.sourceforge.net/faq/#parserdetails.ini

Thanks everyone
Tumer

I've fixed the missing-quote bug in CVS (thanks for spotting that,
Tümer), but without more details I won't be able to tell what's wrong
with MARC::File::SAX, if that is indeed the issue.  I cannot get
anything to fail here after fixing that missing-quote bug.

Tümer, if you add

  use warnings;
  use diagnostics;

to the top of your script does it tell you where the problem with
MARC::File::XML is?
