in thread Getting start and end xml tags

the module I found easiest to work with and understand was XML::Simple

Please don't recommend this module. Its own documentation starts with

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS MODULE IN NEW CODE.

See also XML::Simple needs to go! and Why is XML::Simple Discouraged?

    I delinked XML::Simple (OH but don't use it!) it, but I can't change the fact that I used it in 2004. Sorry, chef.

      Thanks for the edit. I rememberd another reason why XML::Simple would not work in this particular case: it can't handle mixed content at all.
