Just for the record I do have latest released docbook2X and perl
installed:
docbook2X-0.8.8 and perl-5.8.8-r4

Can you say where your binary stated here comes from (asterisks
added)?  
  # convert DocBook to Texinfo, will produce lots of warnings
  **docbook2x-texi** --string-param output-file=subversion book.xml

Note the names of the installed tool here are:
reader > equery files docbook
/usr/bin/db2x_manxml.pl
/usr/bin/db2x_texixml.pl
/usr/bin/db2x_xsltproc.pl
/usr/bin/docbook2man.pl
/usr/bin/docbook2texi.pl
/usr/bin/sgml2xml-isoent.pl
/usr/bin/utf8trans.pl

As I understand it, the pl extensions were added to avoid clobbering
tools with the same names in an earlier sgml tool kit.
But notice the base name is different too:

  `docbook2texi'  not `docbook2x-texi' as yours is.

And a hefty thank you on that score!
