This is the third and final part of a series of articles meant to give quick introductions to some of the more popular Perl XML modules. In the last two months we have looked at the modules that implement the standard XML APIs and those that provide more Perlish XML interfaces. This month we will be looking at some of the modules that seek to simplify a specific XML-related task.
Getting started with XML processing in Perl can be a daunting task. A quick CPAN search reveals 77 XML-related distributions containing more than 200 modules. How do you know which one to choose? Selecting a module based on its ability to cover common use cases (usually a useful guide) seems a bit absurd in light of the fact that XML is being used successfully for everything from storing simple configuration data to enabling communications between complex AI systems. If you find yourself wondering where to begin, don't despair. Despite the apparent complexities, you do not need expert knowledge of Perl or XML to put their combined power to work for you.
