Apache +XML parsingby soliplaya (Beadle) |

soliplaya has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Eminences,
I beg audience related to the following theme : I am writing a (perl) cgi-bin script to run under mod_perl and thus persistently, said script being repeatedly called upon to parse XML data. The data consists, each time, of a published document description, estimated to be between 2 and 10 Kb. After parsing, I need to be able to extract most tags and attribute values, to pass them to some other software which does not understand XML. Coming from a reputed source, I do not expect many issues with the XML per se. But having had some problems before with memory leaks and/or performance in some perl XML modules, I am asking for your benign recommendations as to what works resonably fast, repeatedly and safely under mod_perl, without swelling the server's memory footprint too much. Thank you in advance.
