XML::Twig looks interesting, but I was hoping to stick with a more SAX-like parser rather than DOM-like or pull-parser like.

XML::Twig is super flexible, its SAX+DOM or SAX or DOM.

Rarely do you want to use the SAX feature alone, mostly its SAX+DOM (SAX+TWIG, only a little piece of DOM).

$ perl
use XML::Twig ;
XML::Twig->new(
  twig_handlers => {
    'coordinates' => sub {
      print $_->xpath, "\n";
      print $_->trimmed_text, "\n\n";
    },
  },
)->xparse( "somefile.xml" );

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
