“Perl is one of the most powerful (and even the most devout
Python zealots will agree here) and widely used text processing
languages. Its use on the Web is particularly widespread. It is
then easy to understand why a whole host of modules have been
developed so that the power of Perl (and especially its regular
expression language) can be applied to XML.”

In this article I will review the main Perl XML modules,
from the venerable XML::Parser to DOM, XQL, XSLT, XPath
implementations and more.
I’ll give the main characteristics
of each module and, as much as possible, examples of how to use
them.”
