You seem to have two different version of perl installed simultaneously.
 Also, after the switch to 5.24 as the default version, your perl
package should be named perl5-5.24.1.r4

What version does ```perl -v``` return with?  If it's perl-5.20 then,
correct, there is no XML::Parser available, as that has been installed
in a perl-5.24 specific subdirectory of ${PERL5LIB}

If it's perl-5.24 that you want I suggest:

  # pkg delete -f perl5-5.20.3_15 perl5.24-5.24.1.r4
  # pkg install perl5

Assuming you're using the latest pre-compiled packages (and not the ones
from the quarterly branch which still have 5.20 as the default version.)
 Or build and install a new perl-5.24 package.  It's important to
re-install perl 5.24 as removing perl5-5.20 may have removed some
important files from the existing 5.24 package.

	Cheers,
