 I have XCode 4.2 but there is no /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2.

 Rebuilding perl5 from source on this machine

 I also did this and now the Config.pm has /usr/bin/clang as C compiler.
 With this setting now uninstalling p5-xml-parser and reinstalling it from
 source succeeds without problems. Why my previous upgrade of perl5 did not
 solve it I don't know. Maybe just an upgrade isn't thorough enough.
