Huge. Really fscking huge. You can't use XML::Parser on your mod_perl
enabled Apache. Same goes for PHP and mod_snake, fwiw.
However provided you linked to a .so expat, it remains Apache's fault.
As soon as you start linking to expat statically you're asking for
trouble when someone updates their expat.so that is linked to by a
module your perl application is using. We've been over this here. Check
the archives.
