I wonder how much code you would save if you wrote the templates in Perl and let the Perl interpreter do the above. Sorry, I know this doesn't help you answer your question, but by eliminating XML from the design, the debate about SAX vs XML::Parser would be irrelevant. Your code would run faster, and you would need fewer 3rd party APIs. Rob
