Your module looks very nice indeed, it is very compatible with XML::Simple, and very easy to use.

I just have one comment: with warnings on, it keeps complaininig. That's a big problem, as it basically forces the user to turn them off.

The 2 main kinds of warning:

Scalar value @stat[3] better written as $stat[3] at /usr/lib/perl5/sit
+e_perl/5.8.0/XML/Smart.pm line 346-425
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/lib/perl5/si
+te_perl/5.8.0/XML/Smart/Tree.pm line 229.

If you could get rid of those, that would be a great improvement.
