Trying to install Action Streams on new MT install: error

Did you upload the extlib directory from the plugin to MT extlib directory?

I get the same error. Yes, I uploaded the extlib directory into the MT extlib directory

Action Streams requires Perl modules not required by MT it seems. Specifically, some XML related ones. Once my host installed XML::Atom, XML::XPath, and XML::Parser for me things worked. I'm guessing one, some or all three of those are needed.

No, I've tried to install XML::Atom, XML::XPath, and XML::Parser (only the first was partially missing), and the error stays. To have MT working again I had to manually delete the "Action Streams" and "Iwtst" directories under "plugins".

Here's the tho errors I get (from Activity log):

First: Error during task 'Poll for new events': Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at /var/www/cgi-bin/mt/extlib/HTML/TreeBuilder/X Path.pm line 93 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /var/www/cgi-bin/mt/extlib/HTML/TreeBuilder/X Path.pm line 93.

Hope this helps and someone will look into this.

What sometimes scares me about Movable Type (and i'm using it from the first version) it's the lack of help from the community. In this forum there are many unanswered questions like this one. Months after the first post about the problem, no replies at all. That's why people are switching to Wordpress despite the fact it's not complete and powerful as MT is.

Bump. Same error here on linux server. Any hints or progress on this? I had plugin working on mac, but it doesn't work now on proper gentoo linux.

This error means you don't have all the perl modules required by the Web::Scraper module. Here's a previous thread about this. The trunk version of the plugin (and consequently the next packaged release) handles this error better. Sorry I'm not able to get this fix out to you sooner.
