Michael,

Thanks for your contribution.
I have no idea why things fail for you. Might be because you need the
native package too.

But the real bad news is that the recipe already exist (in unstable that is)
It is in recipes/perl/libxml-libxml-perl_1.70.bb

Actually this one looks very identical to yours.
And wrt the name: the convention is that all perl lib recipe and as
name start with lib then followed by the name in lower case foolowed
by -perl and the verison number..
Hence XML-LibXML will be in libxml-libxml-perl_1.70.bb.

I hope the existence of the recipe does not disappoint you. If you
want to have a stab at another perl module feel free to try to make a
perl recipe for Tk.
Here's a starter, but it had some issues that I forgot about:

libtk-perl_804.028.bb

DESCRIPTION = "Tk - An overview of an Object Oriented Tk8 extension for perl5"
SECTION = "libs"
LICENSE = "Unknown"
PR = "r0"

SRC_URI = "http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SR/SREZIC/Tk-${PV}.tar.gz"

S = "${WORKDIR}/Tk-${PV}"

inherit cpan

BBCLASSEXTEND="native"


Best regards & have fun!
Frans.
