I can second that. XML::Simple has inherent philosophical design problems and I never use it or waste my time to support people using it. Risking making the "use qmail instead" syndrome (see: http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/web/use-qmail-instead/ ), I hereby tell you - don't use XML::Simple if you value your sanity. It does not truly handle XML and is anything but simple. Regards, Shlomi Fish, who now maintains XML-RSS which has many XML-Simple'isms, despite the fact that it doesn't use it, and that some people want even more XML-Simple'isms to support the various brain-damaged RSS extensions that one can find in the wild. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ Rethinking CPAN - http://shlom.in/rethinking-cpan Chuck Norris read the entire English Wikipedia in 24 hours.
