XML::Smart is out!
It's a smart, easy and powerful way to access/create XML data/files.
You access/create your XML data with a HASH tree style, but any point in the tree can be a HASH, ARRAY or SCALAR at the same time, so you don't need to care about the different types in the tree, you just us the tree and XML::Smart change it, or make it works like it, for you.

Here is an example of use:
use XML::Smart ;
my $XML = XML::Smart->new('file.xml') ;
## Change the root:
$XML = $XML->{hosts} ;
## Get the address [0] of server [0]:
my $srv0_addr0 = $XML->{server}[0]{address}[0] ;
## Or just:
my $srv0_addr0 = $XML->{server}{address} ;
## Get the server where the attibute 'type' eq 'suse':
my $server = $XML->{server}('type','eq','suse') ;
## Add a new server node:
my $newsrv = {
os => 'Linux' ,
type => 'Mandrake' ,
version => 8.9 ,
address => [qw(192.168.3.201 192.168.3.202)]
} ;
push(@{$XML->{server}} , $newsrv) ;
## Get/rebuild the XML data:
my $xmldata = $XML->data ;
## Save in some file:
$XML->save('newfile.xml') ;
## Send through a socket:
print $socket $XML->data(length => 1) ;
## show the 'length' in the XML header to the
## socket know the amount of data to read.
