There is more than one way to skin the XML cat with Perl. I believe, correct me if i am wrong, that you are more used to a DOM approach if you used VBScript. While i don't particularly care for the DOM, there is XML::DOM. XML::Simple is great if you want to quickly turn an XML document into an anonymous data structure, which i like to consider an object that isn't an object. ;)

XML::Smart has been getting a lot of good word these days ... it basically removes some of the headache of knowing what you are parsing ahead of time. Then there is the LibXML modules, not to metion XML::SAX, XML::XPath, and XML::Twig. Of course, these all require that you know how to install modules, and as kutsu recommended, tachyon's tut is very good stuff. Let us know if you have any more questions and good luck!

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.
