Hi, I'm familiar with XML using VBScript, but extremely clueless when it comes to Perl. I've attempted using XML::Simple, which does not have the level of functionality I'm used to with XML. Someone recommended XML::Smart, however, for that I need a library. I've downloaded the library, but have no idea whatsoever how to set it up for use. Can someone please give a step by step explanation on how to set up a library. Assume I'm totally stupid. thanks, too clueless
