Hello All,

I'm trying to use the latest Xerces XML Perl module for XML file
parsing, but the documentation is rather limited. Does anyone
recommend a Perl XML parser with well-documented DOM tag handlers?

I want to create a handler for three different XML tags: <a>, <b>, and
<c>. Can someone please provide me some sample code to demonstrate how
to :

1.) Write a Perl DOM XML tag handler (in Xerces or other
well-supported Perl XML mod)?
2.) Use multiple tag handlers while reading in an XML file?

Any information would be helpful.

cheers,
Sherban

A well-documented XML DOM parser I have had success with in the past is
XML::LibXML.

What do you mean by a 'handler'? Do you want the parser to call back
each time it hits a tag? If so, then you want a SAX parser rather than a
DOM one.

No. Try something for yourself, show us what you've tried, and we'll
help you fix it.
