Re: Poor Man's XML?by Cody Pendant (Prior) |

Thank you all for your help.
I think my aversion to learning XML is really an aversion to learning XSLT -- I read a bit of the O'Relly book and it just seemed like page after page of "know how to do a 'for' loop? Well it's possible, though incredibly complicated and wordy, to do in XSLT". I've been learning Perl and various other things like JavaScript for ages, and I haven't got the room in my brain to start learning a new and forbidding language. I might try to do it with XML, but not using XSLT, using the module as suggested by Lestrrat. After all, even if I ended up writing my own really bad parser, just because it's not being read by a formal XML parser, doesn't mean it couldn't be valid XML in case someone else wanted it...
