I learned Perl by forcing myself to use it. I have to get
my hands dirty if I'm ever going to remember how to do
something. Every time I wanted to write a shell script or
C++ program to do something, I forced myself to do it in
Perl instead. If I didn't know how to do something, I
searched the perldocs and the Web until I figured out how to
do it. After a few months of this, I had become comfortable
enough with Perl that it became my first tool of choice for
lots of tasks where I formerly would have used something
else. So my advice is: force yourself to use it, every day,
and take the time and effort not to let yourself slip back
into whatever else you may be comfortable using.

XML::Simpler does not require XML::Parser or a SAX parser.
It does require File::Slurp.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
