Hm, by XML::SAX::PurePerl "package" I meant the Perl module "namespace",
not a RPM or any other package.  And the PurePerl modules are already
part of the XML-SAX CPAN distribution.  Or did I miss something here?

Good luck!  Tried it too and had to give up because of (IIRC) some
libxml2 weirdness/incompatibilities (RHL9); "make test" resulted in
segfaults, be sure to run it :)

(libxml2 2.5.4 isn't explicitly listed in
http://search.cpan.org/src/PHISH/XML-LibXML-1.54/README but 2.5.5 is
"known as broken"...)
