Re: XML and Perl

You mean they didn't mention XML::TreeBuilder ? I love that module. It has the same API as HTML::TreeBuilder which allows me to grok HTML or XML with about the exact same API. Also it is a beautiful example of subclassing. He just had to make the elements of XML::TreeBuilder more restrictive.

It's not a widely used module in the community. More people use XML::LibXML (in the Perl and XML community), which also supports the same API for both HTML and XML.	[reply]

One cool thing about XML::TreeBuilder is the `objectify_text` method, which turns plain text nodes into pseudo-tags so you can drill down thru the XML and look for particular text. Carter's compass: I know I'm on the right track when by deleting something, I'm adding functionality	[reply] [d/l]
