After reading some of the documentation online, it would seem that there's a low level XML::Parser, which would be tantamount to just adding overhead to my already written code which I would just point to in the Parser class.

Similarly, the DOM module appears to be way more horsepower than the task requires, that is, it would just be adding additional overhead to the code I've already written.

At this particular point, I see no value added. However, if I'm being too naive, please, give me an example of how one of these packaged parsers might be used for simply reorganizing a file? They seem to me to be more for processing a file for a different kind of output.

thx,
Dave S.
