parsing an apache-like conf-file

[Jonas Nordström]

I have a proxy-application that I want to make as generic as possible by
using configure files.
I have a configure file that looks something like:


<Interface>
   ko-web.ei.sigma.se
</Interface>

<Label information>
   <DefaultSite>
      info.ei.sigma.se
   </DefaultSite>
   <Sites>
      info.ei.sigma.se
         <Block>
            Order deny, allow
            Deny All
            Allow nisse.ei.sigma.se
         </Block
      stodjande.ei.sigma.se
      lopande.ei.sigma.se
      css.ei.sigma.se
   </Sites>
</Label>

Is there a standard way of reading such file into a perl-structure (hash or
object)?
I have solved it by just reading the file and use regexps to filter the
information. It works, but the code will be hard to maintain.

thanks for listening,
