Re: Dynamic XML

Regarding the delivery to server, i intend to use cocoon.

Yes, I know of that feature of CGI, but as you said, it converts all tags to upper case which is not valid xml.

I will check XML::Senerator, but I think it would probably be easier if I created a module (based on CGI.pm of course, for not re-inventig the weel :-)) for creating XML output.

Upper case tag names _are_ valid XML as long as your DTD defines than as upper case. It looks to me like XML::Generator is probably based on CGI.pm already. You can do stuff like: `use XML::Generator; my $x = XML::Generator->new('escape' => 'always', 'conformance' => 'strict'); print $x->foo($x->bar({baz=>3}, $x->bam()), $x->bar(['qux'],"Hey there,\n", "world"));` [download] which would generate `<foo><bar baz="3"><bam /></bar><qux:bar>Hey there, world</qux:bar></foo>` [download] So the API looks very similar to CGI.pm - even down to the hash reference for attributes. -- http://www.dave.org.uk European Perl Conference - Sept 22/24 2000 http://www.yapc.org/Europe/	[reply] [d/l] [select]

How would you change this up to includes thousands of entries? I just started fiddling around with it, but so far I am only returning the last entry in my query. all of my data is stored in a hash right now, but I thought it would be great to use the XML generator to drop all of that data in the proper format, but could use a little guidance.
