Re: Choosing the best XML module for a toy system

[djp]

I investigated several XML modules a couple of years ago, including the ones mentioned above, and ended up choosing XML::Smart. I recommend it.

I must strongly disagree that XML::Smart is a good idea, unless your needs are trivial — it is one of the buggiest Perl XML handlers I have had the misfortune to attempt to use. The mere act of setting one element equal to another caused some of the methods to stop working after the assignment. I wish I could provide a more concrete example, but I nuked the code I was testing with after I gave up on making it work reliably.
