Sorry for coming in late in the discussion, but how does this relate to the XML::Simple module?
And other module maintainers, doesn't the XML::Simple namespace belonge to the XML::Simple module author?

Greetings,
This is a resubmission (with a new name, based on previous
discussion with Brian D. Foy in the thread starting with message
http://archive.develooper.com/modules@;perl.org/msg13839.html) of a
pure perl, object-oriented API that provides classes for XML
documents, elements and nodes and allows you to generate, parse and
manipulate XML documents.
XML::Simple::PurePerl is a "stand-alone" module in that it does not
require additional libraries or even a compiler to install and is,
in my opinion, flexible and easy to use. A project site was created
(http://minixml.psychogenic.com) where you can find detailed
information on the interface. Developer response has so far been
positive.
The module is
simple: The API is easy to learn and use. While providing a number
of classes in the package and offering XML generation and parsing
functionality, users only need to interact with 2 of those classes.
independent: The package is small and has no external dependencies
or requirements. You can therefore easily install it on any host,
for instance in the case of a web server to which you only have FTP
access - just upload it and begin using the module in your CGIs.
portable: All modules are written in pure Perl, ensuring maximum
portability.
I've run a quick script using the latest version of the module,
which simply reads in a (large) XML file (which you can find at
http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210.xml - it is the XML
specification ) and parses it. I then request the document be
stringified. This is a good test of the parsing abilities as the XML
is completely decomposed then recreated. You can find the resulting
output attached to message
http://archive.develooper.com/modules@;perl.org/msg13887.html
