in reply to total noob question about xml parsing

There might not be a simple approach . If u are doing this for a customer u can be assured that there will be lot of complexities. If its a POC then Ok. I think you should buy more time, as a total new guy and xml parsing in perl might not be a great idea that too with a quick timeline. I mean if ure a whiz, i guess it doesnt matter. Besides, monks generally prefer us to do our homework before we post. google, perlmaven metacpan etc etc.

    Yeah, I am trying to balance family and work this whole weekend, and I'm trying to search for anything I can through google, but most of those results are saying to use XML::Parser, but I don't have that available to use due to a relentless IAM. (HIPAA requirements and such) I am trying to get a quick workaround done while the "true" implementation of a fix to the problem makes its way through the multiple tubes of "process"....

    I will go see if I can find anything on those two resources you mentioned. Thanks!!

      try reading perldoc perldata/pervar and perlreftut before u do anything to see if u are getting a hang of things. for any perl command u want to quickly check eg : sort perldoc -f sort.

        It's not even clear to me that perldoc is available to kgovert007 in the ancient, crippled 'baseline' Perl installation with which he or she is lumbered. Basically, the problem is "How do I write a sophisticated Perl program without using anything one would consider (modern) Perl?" (And make no mistake, XML parsing is a complex and sophisticated application.)
