There's a few examples on PerlMonks and the explanation of the ideas that brought it to life. It seems to get to what you were after from a different angle and as such is probably better in different cases. In case you want just a fairly small subset of the data in the XML and XPath is a good way to select what you want, then CQ will most likely work better :-) If on the other hand you want a bigger part of the data and the resulting structure is more complex then the XML::Rules' style will probably end up being more readable. Plus it allows you to execute code at any level to trim or massage the data structure further.
