There is a reason why I like XML::Simple. I don't end up with a heap of crazy objects with loads of impossible to remember methods and properties, but instead I get just a pure datastructure I can map and grep and loop through using the Perl builtin operators and functions. The AFAPITL (Another Fucking API To Learn) problem.

I don't spend my days massaging XML with Perl, Perl is only about 20% of my work and only about 20% of my Perl work involves XML. Days, sometime weeks, pass by without me having to do anything at all with XML. Thanks god.

XML sucks. Badly. SOAP on the other hand is the most powerfull vacuum pump ever invented.
