Apt-file search libXML.pm returns:

   libxml-libxml-perl: /usr/lib/perl5/XML/LibXML.pm

If I understand correctly, if I have perl5 installed (which I do), I
should find /usr/lib/perl5/XML/LibXML.pm on my machine. In fact it is
not in my /usr/perl5/XML/ directory. I have Simple.pm, SAX.pm,
NamespaceSupport.pm, and corresponding subdirectories there, but not
that file. 

A search on line shows that the missing module is a common problem in
a Windows environment. For linux, I gather the error can occur if
there is no path to libxml2. But in my case, I got it finally to work
by installing libxml-libxml-perl.
