Hi Matt,

Your Perl module is compiled using libxml2 version 2.5.6 or lower. The 
symbol it seeks is there, but called __xmlIndentTreeOutput. This is due to 
the fact that version 2.5.8 has thread support enabled.

You must either get libxml2 version 2.5.6 or older, or you must rebuild the 
Perl module with the newer version.

Ciao,
Igor
