Summary: Link Error while in Expat.

Initial Comment:
I am trying to install XML::Parser which uses Expat. I installes expat using 
expat_win32bin_1_95_2.exe. When I try to build XML::Parser, I get a few  errors(Error message 
given Below).

I am using Microsoft VC++ Version 6.0 to compile. Perl was built from Source(Version 5.6.1) and is 
not activestate perl.

What could be wrong??

This is NOT a duplicate of bug #432456 - that bug is a
problem caused by different DLL versions ending up with the
same name. This bug is a problem when trying to link with a
STATIC LIBRARY - not at all related to DLL names.
