in thread Modified title: The structures created by many of the XML parsers in Perl appear unnecessarily deep in levels...

I'm sorry you feel that way.

    Why? I love Perl. And XML. It's the bad craftsman who curses his tools.

        Don't you mean bloomin' difficult in Perl harm? I troll, I troll.

        Whether or not you actually meant harm to Perl with what you said, i am here to make sure that you don't harm Perl. What is the message you are sending out? That one would be better off NOT using Perl to work with XML. That is an outright lie and borderline slander.
