Perl-XML Module List

Introduction

This list was compiled to inform Perl users what modules are currently available for manipulating XML. It's also for module authors who would like to contribute, but don't know what's already available and don't want to duplicate effort. Please send additions or corrections to eisen@pobox.com. This list can be found at http://www.perlxml.com/modules/perl-xml-modules.html. For more information on Perl-XML development, read the Perl-XML FAQ located at http://www.perlxml.com/faq/perl-xml-faq.html and join the perl-xml mailing list by sending an email to Lyris@ActiveState.com with the message: SUBSCRIBE Perl-XML. You can also find more information about becoming a CPAN author at http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/04pause.html.

Understanding the List

The modules in this list can be found at your favorite CPAN archive. Visit http://www.perl.com/CPAN for more information on CPAN. Downloading and installing modules can be done is several different ways. The easiest is to visit the author's CPAN directory. Links to author directories can be found in the Author section below. An easier method is to use the CPAN module, i.e.:
perl -MCPAN -e shell 'install XML::Parser' which installs the module automagically.
If you're using the ActiveState distribution on a win32 system, you might try: ppm install XML-Parser for example.
