Problem installing XML::Xerces

Hello,

I'm trying to install the XML::Xerces package on freebsd and keep running
into problems when it gets to the Xerces.cpp file.

Make complaints about syntax errors in the file. I did set the XERCESROOT
and XERCES_INCLUDE environment properties to point to the Xerces-C
distribution (didn't install it, though, as this is not required according
to the README file in the XML::Xerces package).

I googled for an hour without any results. Any thoughts?


TIA,
JW

Comparable errors occur when using make.
