Hi Robin,
yeah I have looked at documentation of XML::Writer.
The example explains how to create a new xml file
and insert tags there, but does not says how to modify
already existing XML.
My problem is I want to read and write into the same
xml file.For reader I am using XML::SimpleObject and
and for writing XML::Writer.
Both of them uses separate objects.
I want to pass the XML(used by XML::SimpleObject) to the writer
object for modification, so that I can do some write operation.
Any pointers also is fine.
Thanx,
Alok

Well...have you looked at perldoc XML::Writer ? The module is pretty
well documented...if you start with the hello world example in the docs,
you should be able to get to your example with a few minutes of hacking.
If you have any problems with it, don't hesitate to ask.
