in thread XML log files

This is a very neat trick, I like it a lot.

There might be one catch though: according to the XML specs a oon-validating parser may, but doesn't have to include the external entity (ie. the file the URI is refering to).

If I interprete the specs correctly, this means that this feature is implementation dependent.

Just my 2 cents, -gjb-

    Indeed XML::Parser will do it (and thus all modules based on it, such as XML::Simple, XML::Twig, XML::DOM, XML::XPath...), I suspect XML::LibXML will do it, along with modules based on it (you can base most of the SAX modules on it) but I don't think XML::SAX::PurePerl will.
