Hi Monks,

I have a question to ask you. Since I am building a web site using XML as a database. I am wondering with XML modules if we can cut some elements from a child node and paste to another child node in the XML file. I am using XML::Simple but I found, it has some limitation. Is there a module you recomend?

Here an example, I want to move the product ID "800.55.01" to the subcategory "Grand Arabica". (Original data) 
__DATA__

          <subcategory name="Prestige">
