Did you try my suggestions here:

Good grief that's weird too.  Do you perhaps have more than one 
version of Perl installed?  I wonder if that sort of mess might 
result from running one version of Perl with PERL5LIB pointing 
to the libraries for a different version.

Does this die with an error:

  perl -MCarp -e 1

If so, it's not an XML problem.

If not, does this fail:

  perl -MXML::Simple -e 1

If so, it's probably still not an XML problem, since XML::Simple 
doesn't actually load up an XML parser module until you call XMLin.
