At the moment I'm using XML::Parser because I wasn't sure if XML::Simple would correctly handle things like:

<method>Open up the <object>Properties</object> page. Then uncheck the <object>Do not use option Foo</object> checkbox. Under <object>Server Name</object> enter <input>www.example.com</input> and then hit <object>OK</object></method>

Which I will be processing a little later on in the script.
