•Re: PurePerl XML parsing

The latest SOAP::Lite distro has a regex-based XML parser called XML::Parser::Lite, with an interface similar to XML::Parser for a drop-in replacement.

Anyone who decides to use this should know that it only implements a subset of XML. Things like external entities and possibly character references and alternate document encodings it is unlikely to cope well with. It's also based on a method of parsing XML (Shallow Parsing with Regexps) that hasn't been proven yet, and was implemented specifically for SOAP::Lite because SOAP only permits a subset of XML.
