I'm trying to install the XML::Parser perl module using CPAN and can't get it to work. Below is the output that is being displayed by CPAN which appears to indicate that Expat is the issue.
Geting this installed is critical for us and I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Expat must be installed prior to building XML::Parser and I can't find
it in the standard library directories. Install 'expat-devel' package with your
OS package manager.
Or you can download expat from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/
If expat is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the
following options to Makefile.PL:
EXPATLIBPATH=... To set the directory in which to find libexpat
EXPATINCPATH=... To set the directory in which to find expat.h
For example:
perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/home/me/lib EXPATINCPATH=/home/me/include
Note that if you build against a shareable library in a non-standard location
you may (on some platforms) also have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable at run time for perl to find the library.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

You're probably missing the expat dev package.
