Sounds like you need very basic functionality. > What's the simplest way to do that? Get an XML Processor (I understand you need XML parsing functionality), such as libxml2, xerces, XML::Twig, or any other tool and use its API for querying what you need. If you know what structure you're expecting then going for XPath might prove easiest. > (If it's not Perlish, I don't mind. Whichever language does it best.) Perl has a lot of cool interfaces to XML processors. I personally like XML::Twig, but others exist too. What is an example to what you're trying to do? -- Shlomo Yona [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yeda.cs.technion.ac.il/~yona/ _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
