I must be heavily medicated.

As far as I can tell, expat is specifically an *XML* parser, not a full SGML parser, unless David Megginson is now subsetting an XML version. I haven't really looked at the SGML modules, so I guess I don't know what gets used for them.

If you've already got a built expat for Mac, Chris, can you perhaps send me the lib(s) if possible and I'll try building a Mac version of XML::Parser? I made the changes to Parser.xs yesterday to build under 5.005_01 with expat on Linux (yay) and Win32 (boo, dumbass Microsoft makefiles) and it's working OK so far. Would save me reinventing the wheel, though looking over the expat sources it doesn't appear that it'd be too difficult to build it.
