Extract both to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev/libxml2-2.9.0` (you'll need to create this directory).
 
-=== Perl 5.10 ===
-  Install Perl 5.10 (I use [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl]), and make sure it is in your `PATH`.  If 'perl' isn't in your `PATH` then you will need to override the `PERL` variable in `pidgin/local.mak`.
-  You will also need to download [/static/win32/perl_5-10-0.tar.gz perl_5-10-0.tar.gz] and extract to `$PIDGIN_DEV_ROOT/win32-dev` (it creates its own directory).  This contains headers and an import lib for mingw gcc.
