Re: (2) On XML parsing (tutorial, perhaps?)

[ybiC]

Sounds like sage advice from good monks mirod, neophyte and tilly.

For the great unwashed masses (like myself - gasp) who still parse with regexen, new PM Tutorials on HTML::Parser and XML::Parser or even Parse::RecDescent would make t'sall good.   And prolly probably garner a few ++'s.

Any takers?

You could start by having a look at the module review for XML::Parser and Parse::RecDescent comes with a huge pod (what else would you expect from Damian anyway, it's even in English, no Latin nor Klingon) and I think a tutorial somewhere in the .tar file.

Parse::RecDescent also comes with a copy of Damian's article "The man of Descent" which was originally published in the The Perl Journal a couple of years ago. This is a great introduction to parsing technology in general and using Parse::RecDEscent in particular.
