Re^2: RFC: XML::Composer

There are tons of modules that let you write XML. <snark>Which one you want to use depends upon which set of bugs you want to avoid</snark>. Seriously, XML::Genx and XML::Writer are both fairly decent thought getting namespaces to work can be excruciatingly painful.

FYI - XML::Writer does allow you to generate invalid XML. You just have to turn off the well-defined check(s) that you're violating. :-) My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

Part of the problem with that module is explained in the bug report I just filed. Namespaces are handled poorly. Also, I don't know that it allows me to insert unescaped data between tags. I know I should do that, but I don't have a choice. There are some really, really bad XML "variants" out there. Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course.	[reply]
