Before trying to run a new Perl script, make sure you have the
required Perl modules. This script requires (looking at the top of the
script):

use LWP::Simple;
use XML::LibXML;
use Date::Manip;
use Getopt::Long;
use Text::Wrap;
use POSIX qw/strftime/;
use MIME::Entity;
use Pod::Usage;

Based on your error message, you will at least need to install
XML::LibXML. You can do this via CPAN, and your distro may also have
prebuilt binaries ready to install via your package manager.
