and to answer specifically the question; 'What would you be able to do with it that you couldn't do if it were a module ?' there is no difference in usage. but by making some fundamental xml processing available by the core (like file access, regex, and a host of other fundamental bits n bobs), u do promote a common and systematic approach to working with XML in all perl modules. I see some real benefits to this (more associated to lingua franca type design patterns). cheers, Jim Fuller
