Message:

Perl Modules : Fixups for Capture::Tiny now that it is a top-level second-class module (correct the description, list the URL as text after the link). Treat XML::LibXML in a similar fashion and add its missing dependency of libxml2 (I guess everyone who previously tried to build it had already built that).
