You'll have to evaluate them yourself, but there exist

• XML::Mini -- this wishlist item may shed some light on this one
• XML::Parser::Lite

update: Here's a little example I had laying around

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::Mini::Document;
warn $XML::Mini::VERSION;
my $newDoc = XML::Mini::Document->new();
my $root = $newDoc->getRoot();
my $header = $root->header('xml'); # set the header
$header->attribute('version', '1.0');
my $kid = $root->createChild('foo');
$kid->text("Yes, I am  a kid.");
$root->createChild('foo')->text('Me Too.');

print $newDoc->toString();


# create a new object
my $xmlDoc = XML::Mini::Document->new();
# init the doc from an XML string
$xmlDoc->parse($newDoc->toString());

use Data::Dumper;
warn Dumper( $xmlDoc->toHash() );
die Dumper( $newDoc->toHash() );

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo! I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests. ** The Third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.
