You have a number of options. For instance you load the file into a datastructure using XML::Simple then fiddle around with the structure and save it again, you can use XML::Twig to load and manipulate the file and save it again, or you could use XSLT to transform the document without fiddling with the data in perl. The latter seems to fir your requirement for a template better. /J\	[reply]

Please be more specific. How much data do you have? How complex is your tag structure? Are you using namespaces? More than one? Do you know the encoding of the source? Will it be the same in the target? Is performance important? Is memory usage important? The answers to these questions (and more) will determine the best solution to your problem. -sam	[reply]
