Notice that it's declaring errors for operator>>(char&), but the
header files actually define the operartor for bool - this is a *very*
common problem with old Perl's - they were built with something aking
to:

  #define bool char

So you will get this compile error.

If you modify Xerces.cpp around line 826, you should see a huge number
of #ifdef FOO => #undef FOO, just add this:

  #ifdef bool
    #undef bool
  #endif /* bool */

and try compiling again. 

Perl 5.6.1 is seriously old - I would consider getting it upgraded.
