Re: [64bit] perl-XML-SAX doesn't build from source

Hmm, didn't see that, but I may have already installed it manually
during the bootstrap.  Based on the error message, the problem is that
the in-tree copy is not added to the search path during that command,
and it probably should be; this should be raised upstream.

I just took a look at the Makefile, and here's the command that's failing:

@$(PERL) -MXML::SAX -e "XML::SAX->add_parser(q(XML::SAX::PurePerl))->save_parsers()"

This looks to me like a postinstall operation.  Should perl-XML-SAX have
a postinstall script to run this?

With that hint, I read the XML::SAX documentation, and it seems you are correct: all XML::SAX parser drivers need postinstall and preremove commands to handle registration of the driver in XML::SAX's ParserDetails.ini file. I have added a function to cygport git to handle this, rebuilt perl-XML-SAX accordingly, and built perl-XML-LibXML to provide a more robust driver; look for these in the next 64bit upload.
