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. HTH, Leon -- Leon Brocard.http://www.astray.com/ Iterative Software..http://yapc.org/Europe/ ... All in a day's work for..."Confuse-a-Cat"!
OT: parsing xml
Sorry, no Buffy content follows: 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. 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. -- mike
