My latest obsession is the Sprog Project. It's kind of fun and it's written in Perl, so go on - check it out.

This page used to say I was a relative newcomer to the monastery but now I've been here a few years, that story just doesn't wash any more. When I've got something interesting to say, I might post it here, but for now, here are some Perly things I've done:

• Map of CPAN
• XML::Simple
• XML::Filter::Sort
• XML::Filter::NSNormalise
• The Perl/XML FAQ
• File::Find::Rule::XPath
• A tutorial on using GTK and Glade from Perl

That list makes me seem like some sort of XML freak - but I'm actually a fairly normal kinda guy :-)

I'm also the coordinator for Wellington.pm. So if you're ever passing through New Zealand's capital city, be sure to look us up.

I think this is my most underrated node. And for balance, this is probably my most overrated node.

If you're just getting started with XML::Simple, then please read this article. If you've used XML::Simple and are looking for something better, here's one suggestion.
