If you are at the dev head you are definitely at the bleeding edge.
If you download binary packages there are two feeds.
One is the unstable feed which closely follows the head of the dev branch
The other one is the stable feed which is as it says more stable (at
the expense of some things not being there or being added later)

OUCH.
You got me.
When I saw your email I checked my own tree and there it was.
However if I look at
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/perl
it is not there.

Guess I also had some issues with it and did not commit it, but left
the recipe to complete it later and got sidetracked to something else
and forgot about it.
(I needed it to build some xmltv grabbers but not he one for my
country that's why it ended up on the backburner).

Wrt your recipe:
you definitely want to add BBCLASSEXTEND="native" to the bottom of it.
Also the dependencies need to be added:

See http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=XML::LibXML;perl=latest

Neither XML::Sax nor XML::NamespaceSupport exist (unless they are
added by someone very recently), so guess you need to add these first.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions or want a review or so
(trough private mail or the list or on irc (I am eFfeM on #oe)
