Though, it can still make sense to maintain this module, if
only for 
those who are already using it. It's probably Matt's turn to
say whether 
the module is still maintained by him or not.

Should anyone be looking for a new and stable home for this
module, I 
can recommend the Perl-XML project's SVN repository: 
https://perl-xml.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/perl-x
ml/modules

Oh definitely, I certainly didn't wish to imply that it
shouldn't be  
maintained. Not only is it used and useful when one can't
install  
XML::LibXML easily, but it's also possible (to an extent) to
reuse  
its parser for cases when one wants to run some XPath on
one's own  
data structure. It should definitely stay.

If anyone is looking for a module to help with, this is a
good one.
