heh :)
I normally always use xml::twig, but I don't actually know the format of xml so I can't in this case. I've been googling and I'm going to try xml::sax.

I appear to have only got xml::libxml::sax, is this good enough? the pod mention it might not be any good for production use. What others could I use?

What do you mean by "I don't actually know the format of xml"? How will switching parsers (though, technically, XML::Twig is a front-end, not a parser itself) fix that?	[reply]

XML Twig saves on memory by only reading in bits of the xml. To know what bits you are interested in you have to tell it. As I don't know what tags will be used for a given document I can't do that so it would load the entire xml into memory which negates the point of Twig.	[reply]
