I tested the opf file above but cannot reproduce the error. But in:

at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/XML/Parser/LiteCopy.pm line 167
XML::Parser::LiteCopy::_final() called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/XML/Parser/LiteCopy.pm line 154
XML::Parser::LiteCopy:arse('XML::Parser::LiteCop y=HASH(0x8a6b1ac)', '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>\x{a}<!DOCTYPE package \x{a} ...') called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/XML/Parser/Lite/Tree.pm line 49
XML::Parser::Lite::Tree:arse('XML::Parser::Lite: :Tree=HASH(0x8a3ca9c)', '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>\x{a}<!DOCTYPE package \x{a} ...') called at

isn't "\x[a}" some strange character so this miight be related to UTF8. I am not runnint UTF8 myself in the machine I tested on. Test to set LANG to en_US maybe?
