For any XML work where any of the following is true, XML::Simple is not your friend: The order of elements is important. The distinction between an element and an attribute is important. You want to preserve comments. You want to preserve whitespace. Use something like XML::LibXML instead. TL;DR: No. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply]

`use XML::Rules; my $parser = XML::Rules->new( style => 'filter', rules => { Resource => sub {}, } ); $parser->filter(\DATA); __DATA__ <root> <b>dgfdg</b> <Resource>delete</Resource> <c>ffgdfg<Resource>ddd</Resource>ddddd</c> </root>` [download] See the docs if you want to filter a file and not a filehandle and write the result elsewhere than STDOUT.
