Thanks for this code. It looks very cool. my concern about using the xml parser is that if i want to share my code with another person, I think they will have to have xml parser module installed before they can run the code. If the XML::Parser is a core module, than that will take care of that problem. however, I don't think it is a core module. Correct me if I am wrong.

Again, I really like your code, I will be using it for internal purpose since i have xml parser installed on my machine.
