You could load the data using XML::Simple (or you favorite XML Parser) which will load all the data into hashes as it understand it, then just process the hash, and write out to a new XML file in whatever format you want. That works,

I could also see using XSLT to convert ine of the two files into the other and going from there. That would only be advantageous if you where going to do this often enough to justify the time.

If you are just doing this once, the XML::Simple route would proably work better.

FWIW, Konqueror can export it's bookmark files to Netscape/Mozilla format as well.

• 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.
