I hear you and in general I agree with you. However, in this specific case I will beg to differ. That's because in the synopsis for XML::Simple itself the author states:
PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS MODULE IN NEW CODE.
Those are his all-caps, not mine. Further in the STATUS OF THIS MODULE section he goes on to say
The use of this module in new code is strongly discouraged.
which again is his emphasis, not mine. Since he wrote the module he knows what he's talking about and I'm inclined to take him at his word. YMMV of course.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
