Do I have to write the XML to a file, then read it in again to convert it? Or am I just missing something obvious?
Perl lets you open a reference to a scalar variable as a file. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $string = "line 1\nline 2\nline 3\n"; open my $fh, "<", \$string; while (<$fh>) { print "Printing $_"; } close $fh; # Printing line 1 # Printing line 2 # Printing line 3 $fh is a filehandle like any other. Can you use that? HTH -- - Bruce _bruce__van_allen__santa_cruz__ca_
