The problem that I had in the past with perl was that Scribus' xml-like format fails with the xml parser module, at least partly because of the use of Ctrl-E for newline in text frames. Yet, we are promised xml-compliant files in the future. Making them xml-compliant will allow the use of a lot of xml tools.
