in reply to Parsing pseudo XML files

There's XML::Sax::Simple which is a SAX version of XML::Simple, but can use XML::SAX::PurePerl (I assume from your description of the data that you just need an XML::Simple like parsing...).

Update: re: your reply...as the name implies, XML::SAX::PurePerl does not require anything but perl. It does require XML::Simple, but remove the 'die ... if ($fatal)' line from the Makefile.PL file and install it (with 'make install' on *nix). Disregard any warnings about not having XML::Parser or failing test results. Then install XML::Handler::Trees and then XML::SAX::PurePerl (actually the whole XML::SAX bundle) and XML::SAX::Simple.

    It needs to be pure perl. No external libs can be used unfortunatly. I need to make it easy to propagate to 90 someodd servers. Compiling isn't an option as the servers have had all their compilers removed for safety.
