The ParserDetail.ini message comes from XML::SAX.  This isn't part of
the Perl distribution so either you have install XML::SAX since you
built Perl or you have another installation of XML::SAX (maybe
under /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib).

You need to find where XML::SAX is installed, for example on my system I
located it with this one-liner:

  $ perl -MXML::SAX -le 'print $INC{"XML/SAX.pm"}'
  /usr/share/perl5/XML/SAX.pm

Then you need to create a file using the same path but take off '.pm'
and add '/ParserDetails.ini'.  In my case it would be:

  /usr/share/perl5/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini

Put these two lines in the file:

[XML::SAX::PurePerl]
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1

Then your error should go away.

But if you're going to use XML::SAX then you probably ought to install
XML::SAX::Expat or XML::SAX::ExpatXS.
