Hello Monks, I have several xml files which I want to concatenate into a single file to use as a database with DBD::Anydata;

The thing is the format needed is really rigid (read AnyData::Format::XML) and there's talk of DTDs but I know nothing about them I'm free to change my XML OR use some other tools than AnyData. It's really the database features I'm interested in. Any tips? Thanks in advance.
