When I inevitably hit the omg I gotta parse some XML* stage, I found it easier to understand an event-based parser, but you may not. It was a long time ago, but I think the module I found easiest to work with and understand was XML::Simple (oh but don't use that either!) (SAX (wikipedia) based parsing), which is event-based (found a start tag!, etc), but I can't really remember since it's been a very long time (circa 2004**); I think the book I bought at the time was, Perl and XML.
* I am a Perl programming, Jeb! Not a Java monkey! ** Yes, everyone hits this stage as they're trucking along. It's a good sign. But please listen to those wiser than you (not me, I mean the others telling you to not parse XML with regexes) In reply to Re^3: Getting start and end xml tags
