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

Lo all,
Given that
1) the xml I have to use is quite simple (no cdata or PI etc)
2) but possibly large (< 5meg)
3) I need to know a tag before it's children are parsed
4) have a small memory footprint
5) be very fast
6) Linux only

Should I be using XML::Parser or XML::LibXML?

Thx
John
