Dazman has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I have the following structure <title>Acquirer</title> <desc> A bank (usually) which processes card authorisations and payments through a payment gateway. </desc> <title>ActiveX</title> <desc> ActiveX is Microsoft's proprietary reusable component technology which can be used to build components to run on a user's computer. </desc> <title>ANA</title> <desc> The Article Numbering Association has now merged with the ECA to form e-centre UK. </desc> Is it possible in PERL, to take the above and split each section into multiple files, i.e. one file for each section. I'd appreciate any help, mail to dshilson@NO-SPAMhotmail.com Remove the NO-SPAM for the mail address to work Thanks Darren

    It is possible (though not always wise) to do very nearly anything in Perl. I'd need more information to give you an answer on how to do this though. Is this a single-shot data conversion on text files? If so, it's probably pretty easy. How does the ActiveX part relate to the project?
