++ to XML::Twig; I was also surprised to find XML::Simple as the only Perl module listed in the poll. I've been using XML::Twig ever since some more experienced monks (Your Mother, toolic) guided me in this area, and it's not let me down. It also comes with the very handy xml_grep and xml_pp (pretty-printer), which find frequent use at work.
I'm one of those "Java people" and I regularly deal with XML. I don't understand all the hate for it; after all, the very content you're reading right now was delivered to your computer using a form of XML. Right tool in the right place and all that.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
