What is peoples preferred module for writing XML (files) from within
Perl ? The data is read by a perl script from different (heterogeneous) sources and stored internally in a tree of objects.

I use XML::DOM for that sort of thing.  I haven't tried anything else
since XML::DOM has worked well.  As I walk the tree each node calls
createElement for itself then appendChild for any branches.

XML::LibXML (as mentioned in another post) is likely to be a lot quicker, as it's based on a C library.

Personally, I use either XML::Twig, or XML::SAX::Writer, as appropriate.

The important point is to not use print statements, because you'll get it wrong. :-)
