*blinks* Nothing, yet. =) There are so many XML modules out there that I was just looking for recommendations as to which one(s) I should learn first for the kind of tasks I'm being asked to do. Opinions will vary from person to person I'm sure, but I thought some suggestions as to what other folks found most helpful might help me get my bearings. I did play around briefly with XML::Simple and XML::Parser in Object mode once a few months ago, but that was before my boss actually asked me to start dealing with XML documents and I didn't get a good feel for either of them in the limited time I had to play.

Thanks for the XML::Parser in Stream mode suggestion. Is it possible to deal with comments in Stream mode? I thought the documentation made it sound like comments were basically ignored.
