in reply to Any JDF modules/projects?

What do you mean by "handle"? Writing a module to handle parsing XML into an object tree is very simple. Take a look at the source code for PDF::Template, specifically the parse_xml() method, for an easy example.

    I know it's mostly rather basic XML stuff - looking for special nodes, adding some etc. - and the rest ist networking.

    But the real problem are the JDF specs, to know where to find or put element X, how to split and rejoin job tickets etc. - the specs PDF is 10 MB, nearly only text!

    I guess I will soon be "forced" to understand and send at least JMF messages to keep our newspaper workflow running...
