HTML::Template internally represents data as hashes of arrays that have hashes in them. This is an example from the perldoc:
$template->param(EMPLOYEE_INFO => [
{ name => 'Sam', job => 'pr
+ogrammer'
},
{ name => 'Steve', job => '
+soda jerk'
},
]
);
If you read in your data using XML::Simple it will be represented in almost the exact same structure (depending upon the parameters you set in XML::Simple).
So the answer may be to just use XML::Simple rather than Class::PhraseBook to implement your solution.
