in reply to XML Module Recommendations

Take a look at XML::SAX::PurePerl. It should be operating system independent, and uses SAX API, which I believe has some tie in with Java and other languages, but as I am also learning more about XML (and programming in general), I can't give you a definite answer.

Best of luck to you.

Oh, and while you're here, why doesn't you sign up for a PerlMonks account?

    I'm going to second this suggestion. I use SAX for most of the XML work I do in Perl because you can use any parsers that are registered without having to worry about which parsers implement what. All you do is pass your requirements for supported features (such as Namespaces) to ParserFactory and it creates an appropriate instance for you.

    I would also suggest a look at Perl and XML from O'Reilly. I've found it very useful.

      Bought it, read it, didn't find it helpful at all. I thought it covered things far too vaguely. Maybe I'll give it another look though.
