in thread Examples where XML::Simple is the optimal choice?

They're both good. I default to Twig, because I find it a little more accessible for the more straightforward examples. And I did a lot with it, when I couldn't get XML::LibXML installed on my ActivePerl installation. But I don't think there's much in it - the're both eminently solid libraries for most use cases.

    I agree with your endorsement of Twig ... it is very solid and does not flinch under pressure.   (It used to be important that it also ran well on small machines ... y’know, back when machines were small.)   I like LibXML because of its completeness and underpinnings.   And, well, “those are the (only) two tools that I use to do this sort of thing (in Perl).”
