I was using XML::Twig initially, but I need something PurePerl. Twig relies on XML::Parser, which relies in turn on expat.
I've looked at every XML solution I could find, starting with Kip's good articles, but XML::SAX::PurePerl was the only PurePerl implementation I could find. I would be VERY interested in others.
You've got me there, XML::Twig is Perlish ;-) but does make use of XML::Parser... google turned up a project of Mark Kvale's in the 'nascent' state, but that's really it :-(
