DESCRIPTION

52       This module provides "libxml2" for other modules to use.
53

CAVEATS

55       There was an older existing Alien::LibXML, but it uses the older
56       Alien::Build::ModuleBuild and the author prefers this version which is
57       based on the more robust alienfile system.
58
59       "libxml2" has some optional prereqs, including "zlib" and "iconv".  For
60       a "share" install you will want to make sure that these are installed
61       prior to installing Alien::Libxml2 if you want to make use of features
62       relying on them.
63
64       For a system install, you want to make sure the development packages
65       for "libxml2", "zlib" and "iconv" are installed if "libxml2" has been
66       configured to use them, otherwise XML::LibXML will not install as
67       expected.  If the tests for this module fail with a missing "iconv.h"
68       or "zlib.h", then this is likely the reason.
