ive done this before using a database with XML::LibXML,
not much difference using a plain text

I'd love to see something like this in perl :

http://technet.oracle.com/tech/xml/xdk_java/content.html

then something like this could happen:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<XSQLConfig>

     :

  <connectiondefs>

    <connection name="demo">

      <username>scott</username>

      <password>tiger</password>

      <dburl>jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:ORCL</dburl>

      <driver>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver>

    </connection>

    <connection name="lite">

      <username>system</username>

      <password>manager</password>

      <dburl>jdbc:Polite:POlite</dburl>

      <driver>oracle.lite.poljdbc.POLJDBCDriver</driver>

    </connection>

  </connectiondefs>

      :

</XSQLConfig>
