I assume you have write privellages for the directory (or else you would not
be able to write the XML doc anyway) .. you can use dbm files ... lookup
DB_File.pm and see the perldocs or check out chapter14 of the perl cookbook.
There are more tools (i might be wrong but it does seem more logical) to
manipulate db files (in the way you mentioned below) than for XML
