Help - Install XML-LibXML on windows

[ITSAMB]

Hello experts,
I need your help in installing a Perl module. I am trying to install XML::LibXML on development server from couple of days now. I do not want to compile and install the module manually, as it needs some C components.
I would like to install the binary distribution of this module for windows.
I tried to install the binary module with PPM from following site
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/ and the command is
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.ppd
It throws following error and quit
Installing package 'http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.ppd'...
Error installing package 'http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.pp
d': Read a PPD for 'http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/XML-LibXML.ppd', but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-5.8)
Then, I tried with packages from other sites as well.
ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm/XML-LibXML.ppd
ppm install http://ppm.tcool.org/archives/XML-LibXML.ppd
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/XML-LibXML.ppd
But got the same error.
The Perl on which I am trying the installation is a customized version for a product with version "v5.8.2 built for MSWin32-x86-multi". I installed PPM on it with version 2.1.6.
I am not getting any clue here, how to go. Any help is appreciated.
OS=>Windows server 2003 SP2 Perl=>v5.8.2 built for MSWin32-x86-multi PPM=>2.1.6 >

Thanks,
Amit

XML-LibXML has quite a few dependencies - anyone wanting to install the uwinnipeg ppm for perl-5.8 would be well advised to first add it to the list of repo's (unless it's already there):

ppm repo add http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/

Then it's just a matter of (where prompted, accept the defaults):
ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/XML-LibXML.ppd

The library libxml2.dll is needed to complete the installation,
and should be placed in a directory somewhere in your PATH
environment variable. I can fetch and install this for you,
if you don't already have it.
