Since the endpoint for all of your transformations are XML, i think it belongs with the other XML application modules. i'm also not thrilled with "Any", which just seems like a lie. i bet i can come up with more formats you can't parse than it can actually handle. you say it parses text, but that's hardly "any". it seems purposedly deceptive. the marketing aspect or a marketing department's investment in a name has no relevance in a proper name, in my opinion. -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org please send all messages back to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
