XML::Parser and SAX are the two primary distributions that do XML parsing. As for writing XML, XML::Writer has had good reviews. If you need XPath, there's modules for that, too.
Personally, I'm an XML::Parser man, but that's primarily because it's the first one I used and it's satisfied all my needs thus far.

For ease of use, I like XML::Simple. It will read and write, but there are some XML constructs that it just can't handle, like content and other elements within an element.
