Lo all,&lt;br/&gt;

Given that &lt;br/&gt;
1) the xml I have to use is quite simple (no cdata or PI etc)&lt;br/&gt;
2) but possibly large (&lt; 5meg)&lt;br&gt;
3) I need to know a tag before it's children are parsed&lt;br&gt;
4) have a small memory footprint&lt;br&gt;
5) be very fast&lt;br&gt;
6) Linux only&lt;p&gt;

Should I be using XML::Parser or XML::LibXML?&lt;p&gt;

Thx&lt;br&gt;
John</field>
