Except that it's not so simple to set it up to give you consistent data structure with things like optional tag attributes and repeated tags. See http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=697036 > I found that both Twig and Treebuilder are great if you are looking at > modifying the XML (add extra nodes, alter existing nodes) but since they > build a full tree structure for the XML file you are working with depending > on the size and complexity of the file this could cause serious memory > bloat, and even out of memory errors. XML::Twig (as the name suggests) is not supposed to build a full tree structure, but rather lets you work with parts of the document. The "twigs". I personally believe XML::LibXML is overcomplicated, but some people seem to like it.
