in thread & and XML::Simple
And for completeness, XML::LibXML is probably the other best choice (IMHO) alongside Twig. This package uses the same libxml2 binary library that is very much an industry standard for handling XML. You often wind up processing another program’s XML file outputs using the same underlying library that it used to build them. (Whether or not they used Perl to drive it.)
