In an effort to get some practice building perl modules, I tried to
rebuild perl-XML-SAX from source. If I install all perl-* packages
currently in the 64bit distribution except for that one, then the build
fails at the install stage as follows:

If I understand the error message correctly, it's complaining that it
can't install XML::Sax because XML::Sax isn't installed. What am I
missing?
Hmm, didn't see that, but I may have already installed it manually
during the bootstrap. Based on the error message, the problem is that
the in-tree copy is not added to the search path during that command,
and it probably should be; this should be raised upstream.
I do reassure you that building Perl modules is generally not that
difficult; you just picked the exception to the rule. :-)
