This module allows you to create, search, modify and/or convert XML data and files by treating them as databases without having to actually create separate database files. The data can be accessed via a multi-dimensional tiedhash using AnyData.pm or via DBI and SQL commands using DBD::AnyData.pm. See those modules for complete details of usage.

The module is built on top of Michel Rodriguez's excellent XML::Twig which means that the AnyData interfaces can now include information from DTDs, be smarter about inferring data structure, reduce memory consumption on huge files, and provide access to many powerful features of XML::Twig and XML::Parser on which it is based.

Importing options allow you to import/access/modify XML of almost any length or complexity. This includes the ability to access different subtrees as separate or joined databases.
