perl-XML-Filter-BufferText

that's because of the same problem you have before: you build perl from source which doesn't include those modules

here's in 14.1

thanks mr willys
how can i fix this?
what are my options?

i can not find an un-installation script to remove perl from source.

i have the same output 14.1 with cat /var/log/packages/perl-5.18.1-x86_64-1 | grep -i xml, which means

do i have to re install slackware or there is anyway to delete perl5 20 from source?.
thanks.

try to run make uninstall from perl source 5.20.1
last option: remove all perl located in /usr/local/ since all packages installed from source will be placed there, unless the user set --prefix to other places

i spammed slackware. my solution was a total reinstalation of slackware. its curious that perl source doesnt have a uninstall script or instructions to remove it.
thanks mr willysr
