Re: XML module advice

XML::DOM is an in depth treatment of a Perl interface for XML. This is a heavier interface that XML::Simple but allows you to do use features such as validating the XML document against a DTD.

XML::Writer is worth a look for writing XML.

For something a bit more in depth, I would actually recommend XML::LibXML over XML::DOM. `XML::LibXML` is actively maintained and is lightning fast. `XML::DOM` got somewhat neglected by Enno until TJ Mather rescued it last year and put out a release. Personally I use `XML::LibXML` both for it's speed (based on `libxml2` instead of `expat`) and because it validates XML against DTDs nicely. Oh, did I mention how fast `XML::LibXML` is? -- vek --	[reply] [d/l] [select]
