This may be due to https://github.com/shlomif/perl-XML-LibXML/pull/39
(Avoid XXE attacks by default (expand_entities and load_ext_dtd should
default to false)), but in this case, the documentation should be
fixed and these changes should be announced, because this breaks
existing scripts in practice, until they are modified.

For the documentation, there were

  https://github.com/shlomif/perl-XML-LibXML/pull/47
  https://github.com/shlomif/perl-XML-LibXML/pull/48

but they were closed on 21 Jul 2021. I don't know why.
