Actually, you don't need XML::SAX::Simple - matts put that quick hack together while I was integrating SAX support directly into XML::Simple. Version 1.08_01 of XML::Simple supports SAX natively. It can act as a handler in the way you suggest, it can also drive a SAX pipeline from a Perl data structure and it can do both at the same time for filtering.

    Ahh, that's great. Release it on CPAN so the rest of the world can view it. All I see is 1.08.
      Release it on CPAN so the rest of the world can view it.

      XML::Simple version 1.08_01 has been on CPAN since February. The CPAN shell recognises a _nn suffix to mean that a release is an 'unstable' version (thanks to samtregar for pointing this feature out to me). If you type this command in the CPAN shell ...

      cpan> install XML::Simple

      ... then you'll get the latest stable version (without an underscore suffix). However you can install a specific version like this ...

      cpan> install G/GR/GRANTM/XML-Simple-1.08_01.tar.gz

      And you can list available versions with the 'author' command ...

      cpan> a GRANTM

      The 1.08_01 release has proven to be so stable that I haven't had a pressing need to re-release it with a new version number. I will though.
