Yes, and that is what XML is best for. Besides that, XML::Simple often puts
arrays where there should be hashes, hashes where there should be arrays and
tends to break more often than not.

Fine. XML::Compile seems to be for SOAP, which is a subset of the general XML
functionality.

Fine then I'll use "{{{" and "}}}" from now on.

You're missing many commas in this sentence of yours and a trailing "and". I
disagree about it being either over-designed, over-complicated and committee
(not "comitee")-designed, because it is very elegant, powerful and flexible.
It may not be very well-documented, but I could manage with the current state
of its documentation. And it mirrors the current state of XML standards, and
I've been using it for all of my Perl XML projects (except the XML::Parser
ones that I've inherited from other people).
