Many of these miscellaneous example scripts in various languages are far
older even  than beta-1, and are not really supported. I doubt whether
anyone actually tests them for regressions, let alone uses them. As well as
being vulnerable to changes in eXist itself, they also sometimes get broken
by updates to the XMLrpc or SOAP libraries of the languages concerned.

I there any reason why you need to use xmlrpc? Is there something you need
to do that the REST i/f doesn't support? I use it all the time from Perl
with no problems at all.

If that build works for your use-cases and data, then fine. But it has an
alarmingly large number of known bugs, and if you hit any of them, there's
not much anyone here will be able to do by way of help or advice.
