cajun has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have several bookmark.xml files that have been saved over the years. I'm looking for a way to extract the bookmarks from these files, nuke the duplicates and end up with one 'master' bookmark file.

The only node that I've located so far that was related was Re: Uses for Perl & XML. I've searched CPAN for bookmark type modules as well as XML modules. There's quite a few XML modules. I've never dealt with XML before, so I have no working knowledge of any of the various modules.

Any suggestions about which module you feel might be best suited for this, or pointers in the right direction would be most helpful.

Thanks,
Mike

Update: The bookmarks all come from Konqueror and later Firefox. My assumption is they are all XML for two reasons, they all have xml filename extensions and if I open them with a browser, it says at the top of the page " This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." Hint - I know nothing about XML.
