Wow, I'm impressed! Yes, that does fix the problem. I've 
placed an Embperl ppm package up at
   http://theoryx5.uw
innipeg.ca/ppms/
for ActivePerl 8xx, based on 2.2.0; this doesn't have
mod_perl-1 support built in, as I'm having (local)
difficulties with this, but it does include libxml2
support (a post-install script should offer to download
the relevant external dlls for you).

Excellent! Randy, any chance this becomes part of your
all-in-one 
distribution?

Seems like Perl redefines the stat call in an incompatible
way, so the
returned struct is bigger than the original one, which has
overwritten some
data..

Great! Thanks!

Do you see any chance to create a version with mod_perl-1 at
later time?

I've now placed a Win32 ppm package (called Embperl-1)
for ActivePerl 8xx that includes mod_perl-1 support at
    http://theoryx5.uw
innipeg.ca/ppms/
This also includes libxml2 support. Let me know if you
find troubles with it - thanks.
