I'm not quite sure I understand your question. You haven't really given us quite enough detail.

Are you asking, "Is there a better way to generate XML data in Perl than the one I'm using?" - I don't know; I don't know what you're doing yet.

By "textpad processing" do you mean text manipulation? Yes, that's probably going to be faster that XML manipulation in Perl - but I don't know what text you want, so I can't be sure.

Or do you mean, "I need to generate big dummy data files for my program. How can I do this with Perl?" - another question that needs more data.

What are you actually doing? What data files do you need? What format are they in? Do their contents matter at all? If so, what do they need to contain? Have you got any sample code we can see?

We'd love to help - we just need a better explanation of what you're doing.
