I'm new to perl and I need to parse an file which contains both structured
and unstructured XML messages. Can someone help me to understand how to
parse XML files/data into either simple readable or html format? I'm not
sure how to proceed like which module I've have to use etc. any pointers
would be much appreciated.
I've used XML::Parser <http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-Parser/Parser.pm> to
do simple things. The documentation is here:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-Parser/Parser.pm.
There are a number of XML parsers available on CPAN http://search.cpan.org/
The two most commonly use are:
XML::Simple http://search.cpan.org/~grantm/XML-Simple-2.18/lib/XML/Simple.pm
XML::LibXML http://search.cpan.org/~pajas/XML-LibXML-1.70/LibXML.pod
Others are:
XML::Twig http://search.cpan.org/~mirod/XML-Twig-3.34/Twig_pm.slow
XML::SAX http://search.cpan.org/~grantm/XML-SAX-0.96/SAX.pm
XML::DOM http://search.cpan.org/~tjmather/XML-DOM-1.44/lib/XML/DOM.pm
All of these except XML::LibXML are built on top of XML::Parser.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
