in reply to XML Module Recommendations
I second mirod's suggestion to use XML::Twig. I was reluctant to do any XML mangling before I came across it. Tried to get my feet wet with the other modules, but even XML::Simple isn't. With Twig, I was up and running in 20 minutes for my XML first attempt which was a very simple task. Just it like it should be, the easy things easy and the hard things possible.
