Thanks for your response, Jason.

The 2.3.0-4 is the most current 2.3 xercesc source on the 
Cygwin mirrors. I downloaded it from 
http://cygwin.get-software.com/release/xerces-c/.

----
A quick recap of my travels thus far:
- I obtained the XML::Xerces 2.3.0-4 and attempted to install on 
  cygwin. Since the current version of xerces-c from cygwin is 
  2.4, this failed.
- I then tried to obtain a XML::xerces 2.4 and did find one from 
  http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-p/nightly/2003-11-21/
  XML-Xerces-2.4.0-0.tar.gz     20-Nov-2003 23:48  211K  
  This ultimately failed with some build errors. 
    figured it wasn't ready yet so I'd go with 2.3
- I went back to cygwin and tried to down-grade to xerces-c 2.3 
  and this was OK for the binaries, but the only sources that 
  you get via cygwin setup are for 2.4 so I downloaded the 
  2.3.0-4 source kit from the mirror.
- I then did the xerces-c build and then attempted the XML::Xerces
  build - which failed with the 'undefined reference to' errors.

I must say that I am no where near an expert at building software
such as this, so it may well be that I have something incorrect in 
my environment. I followed the available instructions both 
for the build of xerces-c on cygwin and then for the XML::Xerces. 

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Perhaps it would be best for me to wait for XML::Xerces 2.4?
