XML::Twig 3.0.9 installs nicely under Windows NT (SP5) with ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 build 633 for me. If memory serves I also installed it under cygwin with that Perl distribution directly from CPAN.

I must say I rather like XML::Twig's approach, although the other modules mentioned have their advantages too.

Lastly, for large files, you may want to use the SAX interface rather than the DOM unless you've lots of memory to spare. In such situations, XML::Twig may be a nice compromise.

Just my 2 cents, -gjb-
