in reply to ppm.xml made more human-friendly

It's a nice idea. But if you just want to look at it you could just open it in IE and it will format it for you. There are also some fine freeware XML editors that will do the same.

    That's fine. Different people have different work-styles and priorities. Opening IE just to view a file of this sort, instead of looking at it in my always-running text editor where I am doing all my other work, is preferable to me. If a person was not running a machine with lavish resources, too, they might prefer to avoid firing up yet another hoggish Windows application just to look at a simple list of what's been installed to their Perl?

      Indeed! My NTEmacs HTMLhelper/XML mode likes your script, and for notepad or it's ilk there is little else I can find & use!
