Standard XML Modules in MS

willdooUK has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi - I'm trying to write an XML-based content management system, but my hosting service doesn't have many perl modules available. Their support guy just told me that they haven't installed any extra XML modules on their servers, so they've only got the standard IIS modules.

Only problem is, he can't tell me what those standard IIS modules are :(

I know that XML::Parser is there, 'cos I'm already using it, but that's only for incoming files.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a list of modules (I'm looking at the msdn site, but its a mess)?

Much obliged.

Then it looks like you need to read this article at www.perl.com entitled "MSXML, It's Not Just for VB Programmers Anymore" You'll find it useful. C-.	[reply]

Well, the standard IIS resource is MSXML.dll, but I haven't had too much success using it. The Perlish way is to use the LPW::UserAgent and XML::DOM modules to construct and send requests. I'm just learning this myself, so can' offer too much more.	[reply]

As a workaround, just copy the XML::Simple module into your script directory. /J	[reply]
