Go to http://search.cpan.org/ and type "XML" into the search box. There are a whole bunch of XML modules that will make your life much easier.

Always check CPAN before writing it yourself. Dave On Thu, 18 Oct 2001, Trent A Stephens wrote: > I (a beginner in Perl) am looking for guidance on XML and Perl.
