in reply to Easy XML question

Which XML module?

I'm not so certain that there have ever been any XML distributions in core (I could very well be wrong though).

Just install whatever you want from the CPAN: cpanm XML::LibXML for example.

Update: To check if a module is included with a version of Perl, use the corelist command. For example (this is on a 5.26.1 instance):

$ corelist XML::LibXML

Data for 2017-09-22
XML::LibXML was not in CORE (or so I think)

    The only XML modules in core are POD to XML translators, which from previous posts is likely not what our fishy friend is after.

    However, the venerable XML::LibXML which you mentioned is now at version 2.0201 and this is declared to run on any perl from 5.8.1 upwards, so will surely suffice for most users.
