Subject: different field delimiters and xml question


I'm slightly cross posting because I have similiar question on 
newsgroup but no response (yet). Wondered if you can entertain my ques.

I understand there is support for comma tab and pipe delimited files.
Let'say I have '###' as field delimiter in a flat text file. Can
I "inform" the DBI and use this?

I believe so - never tried this, but I have used '||' as a delimiter before, so I am 
assuming it will work with DBD::CSV.

Can the perl DBI interface with an XML tagged file?
As it could with say a comma delimited file?

You might use XML::XPath

Thanks for helping w/these basics.
