Vynce,

I really like the freshness of your ideas. Though I'm not an actual POOPer, I have some feelings about namespace. One of the main rules is:

Thou shalt not pollute thy namespace with auto-generated, out-of-control aka user-supplied names.
So I wouldn't use any module that would take one XML file, and pollute my namespace with (potentially) unexpected names that could overwrite my original namespace. Well, and that spells disaster for your module that generates Package:: subclasses. Even if they just are nodes on your own module. If there however is one or the other XML standard that nicely translates into an object-tree, than it's OK. But in that case, you are writing a package for a specific XML standard subclass rather than a generic XML parser.

But the idea is cool. There are real XML experts over here, so wait for better answers. Until than, peek at Processing XML with Perl (by mirod) for a nice overview of different libs.

Cheers,

Jeroen
