They're because pre-10.14 perl was distributed with a combined i386/x86_64 library, so perl-xml-simple and 
perl-xml-parser needed to be built that way in order to link, and since they depend on expat it did too.

Are you using Xcode or command line tools? What version? What does `perl -V` say about flags (first line 
under Compiler)?
