Re: OT: parsing xml

2001-04-11 Thread Leon Brocard

Mike Jarvis sent the following bits through the ether:

 Has anybody dealt with the data exchange xml standard called BMEcat?
 I've got to hack a parser together quickly and I was hoping to nick
 somebody else's code.

It appears that no-one has answered this. In general, I find
XML::Simple very useful (and simple!) for dealing with XML data
structures. If you need anything more fancy, look into
XML::XPath. Always remember to cache aggressively whenever you use
XML.

OT: parsing xml

Sorry, no Buffy content follows:

CPAN has a XML::BMEcat module, but it's aimed more at creating BMEcat
files rather than reading them.  The spec is incredibly icky
(www.bmecat.org if you read german), and I really really really don't
want to have to do this.  All I need to do is shove a BMEcat feed in a
db somewhere and I'm happy.

Help me get the hell out of Texas.  I hate flying into Bush
Intercontinental.
