in reply to Fastest way of XML -> perl structure

What are you actually trying to accomplish? As best I can tell, one of the biggest problems with XML parsing is that - because it's tag matched - you end up having to read the whole doc into memory before you can even start.

If I'm after speed, I often find an incremental parsing approach using XML::Twig works quite well, because you can fire twig handlers and purge the data structure as you go.
