Tom,

the development of XML::LibXML is separate from libxml2. And 
although it has indeed slowed down quite a bit in the past few 
years, it is still functional, widely used, and works perfectly 
with all recent libxml2 releases.

Also, I believe [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a better forum 
for discussing XML::LibXML bindings.

As for the reader interface, feel free to roll your own (preferably 
as an extension to the existing XML::LibXML bindings). AFAIK there 
were no attempts to add reader support so far. I guess you should 
first try to contact Christian Glahn, the main maintainer, as he 
has made some not-yet-released cleanup and simplifications in the 
internals of XML::LibXML parser interface that might help a bit. 

I once considered attempting to add the reader support to 
XML::LibXML myself. AFAIR, the main challenge was preserving the 
current memory model of XML::LibXML bindings (reference counting, 
etc.) that users of XML::LibXML are used to.
