type the following in a term (console Xterm mlterm)

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell;

( if you have not configured CPAN it will ask couple of questions if you
answer prerequisites_policy "follow" CPAN will get the necessary
packages for you. )
type

cpan> i XML::LibXML 

this will give you the information about the package

cpan> make XML::LibXML

will get the package along with the missing parts also if you look to
CPAN documentation "man CPAN" you can have other info as howto install
packages as user.


Alternatively get cpan2rpm from ftp://dinamizm.ath.cx so you can build
RPMS of the packages (note that cpan2rpm also depends on your cpan
configuration)

Hope this helps
