Enlightened Monks, from the wonderful world of perl.

Humbly, please put me out my misery with the pertinent cluebat.

I have to deliver several (largish) XML documents in accordance with their XSD.
These schema are subject to frequent & outwith-my-control changes.
The 'contents' for the XML live in MySQL, in what might kindly be termed an 'evolved' table/relationship.

surely, surely, surely someone somewhere has had to deliver XML from SQL in a controlled, extensible manner previously?

There are many excellent CPAN entries which could handle parts of my requirement, but I've yet to find anythign which lets me markup the relationships between allowable XML schema elements, & their database residence.

Currently we do a number of SELECTs, munge & call XML-Writer, which works but is harder to maintain.

I have a window of opportunity to do-it-right & would humbly petition for your gems of wisdom ..

thanks in advance
