XML::Twig looks interesting, but I was hoping to stick with a more SAX-like parser rather than DOM-like or pull-parser like.

XML::Twig is super flexible, its SAX+DOM or SAX or DOM.

Rarely do you want to use the SAX feature alone, mostly its SAX+DOM (SAX+TWIG, only a little piece of DOM).

$ perl
use XML::Twig ;
XML::Twig->new(
  twig_handlers => {
    'coordinates' => sub {
      print $_->xpath, "\n";
      print $_->trimmed_text, "\n\n";
    },
  },
)->xparse( "somefile.xml" );
