in reply to total noob question about xml parsing

Maybe I missed it, but I don't see you saying what you DO have. Have you checked what modules are installed? Perhaps you might get lucky and find that the distro or whatever source of that locked down Perl has something useful.

Some ways to do that

Just a thought...

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem...otherwise, the problem is not a problem, it is simply an inconvenient fact

    So, I don't have anything that starts with XML::

    In the end, I just did the thing I said I was going to do -- parse each line the same way I would have done in C. I appreciate the suggestions you guys gave me, and this assignment has really made me want to get good at perl. I am hoping to start looking into learning it from the start -- the RIGHT way. Of course I am going to peruse through here a lot, I imagine, but do you guys have any text/website reccomendations aside from here and the camel book from O'Reilly?

    Thanks again!!!
