in reply to debugging - straw poll ...

print is my favourite debugger (not that I have much use for it *cough*), although I often leave the print statements in, and condition them with a global. 
my $DEBUG = 1;

...

print Dumper(\%x) if $DEBUG;

    Change this to 

    sub DEBUG () {1}
...
print Dumper(\%x) if DEBUG;

    and the prints will even be optimized away so Perl will not waste time testing the value of $DEBUG at runtime.

    XML sucks. Badly. SOAP on the other hand is the most powerfull vacuum pump ever invented.
