I think that after munging XML in Perl, you might have forgotten the learning curve of using XML in Perl can be quite steep. Not impossible, but it is there.
My frustration with the situation is apparent but it wasn't meant to be a derogatory statement about Perl or about XML. I'm sorry if it was taken that way.
As I said earlier, thanks to everyone that pointed out modules that might make handling XML a bit easier... I think the underlying fault of the problem may be the design of XML itself. It may be too flexible to satisfactorily parse and manipulate in an intuitive manner in all cases without knowing in advance the data format of the stream.

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).
