Monks, I've been very happy with XML::Simple, but now I must learn how to tackle XML where the tag order is relevant: 
<test id="1">
   <name>Example 1</name>
</test>
<test id="2">
   <name>Example 2</name>
</test>
<test id="yo">
   <name>Example 3</name>
</test>

As all of you know, XML::Simple won't return the structure in the exact same way as the original XML structure.

What should I use them? I've looked at a bunch of other XML parsers, and I didn't like any of them.

I'd rather use something tree (non-event) based, as this is how XML::Simple operates, and since I need quick access to the data in the XML tags, I don't want to mess with handlers and stuff like that, unless absolutely necessary, of course.

Any pointers, preferably with meaningful tutorials?

Thanks.
