I've got a big XML stream (several hundred megs) I need to process, speficially the XML version of a large Argus capture. The document will essentially look like 
<?xml version="1.0">
<ArgusDataStream>

     <ArgusFlowRecord>
              contents of each Flow
     </ArgusFlowRecord>

      Several hundred thousand more ArgusFlowRecords...

</ArgusDataStream>
So what I need is something that can take this, preferably as a stream on STDIN, and process each ArgusRecordFlow individually without having to slurp the whole behemoth into memory first. I've searched around on CPAN, but couldn't find anything that looked like it would do this nicely. Any suggestions?
