These days I'd recommend using XML::XPath rather than XML::DOM
for more complex projects (and XML::Simple for the easy ones as
per my earlier post).
The trouble with XML::DOM is that the DOM was designed to be
language neutral. This makes it a bit of a lowest common
denominator thing. Java implementations of the DOM are relatively
straightforward to use. The Perl implementation of the DOM is
almost exactly the same - thats the problem. Perl should be
easier to use than Java and almost always is. But we can't have
something that complies exactly to a language neutral spec and
at the same time it easier to use with 'our' language.
