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

I have one dumb file (typically messages exchanged in different bodes) Which I can parse and present in xml format , or any other format if required. Is there any module which will read xml file and o/p in sequence diagram. It will be great if i get rid of dotted lines :)

    For quickly outputting diagrams, I find GraphViz2 quite convenient.

    So all you have to do is read the XML into the appropriate data structure and that's it.

    For reading the XML, I would look at XML::Twig or XML::LibXML.
