Re^7: Is there any XML reader like this? (XML::Simple beats LibXML hands down in the speed stakes!)

[ikegami]

Your idea of an "awful interface" is weird.

Usable, readable. If I have to use a gazillion defined and ref checks to extract one value, it's not usable, given that one function call is all that's needed.

I've used XML::Simple and XML::LibXML, yet only the former gives me trouble.

Can we stop now, because we are once again doing nothing to help the OP; nor each other.

Then stop using the word "you" and stick to the subject.
