in reply to No tools? Use Perl?!

Are you sure you haven't got any installed? I think XML::Parser used to be part of the Perl installation. While the interface is ... erm ... awkward, it is a complete standards conforming XML parser.

    Well, at least not always:

    >corelist XML::Parser

Data for 2013-08-12
XML::Parser was not in CORE (or so I think)

    And I can't find anything in http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/BINGOS/Module-CoreList-5.20160720/lib/Module/CoreList.pm, so no, XML::Parser appears to be a strictly non-core module.

      Not all Perl instalations contained just the officially core. I do believe at least some versions of ActivePerl contained XML::Parser and I would not be surprised if Strawbery or other distros contained more than the core as well.
