Just out of curiosity, what limitations with XML::Parser are you referring to?

In the past, you'd probably hear a lot of people trying to steer you away from XML::Parser in favor of an 'actively maintained' module. Well, matts has picked up the XML::Parser reigns and released 2.32 and 2.33 just last week in fact. So you can now add XML::Parser back onto the 'actively maintained XML parsing modules' list :-)

In the past I actively used XML::Parser until the requirements for my project changed. I needed to be able to validate the XML against a DTD so I switched to XML::LibXML. I would have probably stayed with XML::Parser otherwise.
