XML Parsing/Modules

[Open Source]

I'm new to perl and I need to parse an file which contains both structured and 
unstructured XML messages. Can someone help me to understand how to parse XML 
files/data into either simple readable or html format? I'm not sure how to 
proceed like which module I've have to use etc. any pointers would be much 
appreciated.

There are a number of XML parsers available on CPAN http://search.cpan.org/

The two most commonly use are:

XML::Simple http://search.cpan.org/~grantm/XML-Simple-2.18/lib/XML/Simple.pm

XML::LibXML http://search.cpan.org/~pajas/XML-LibXML-1.70/LibXML.pod

Others are:

XML::Twig http://search.cpan.org/~mirod/XML-Twig-3.34/Twig_pm.slow

XML::SAX http://search.cpan.org/~grantm/XML-SAX-0.96/SAX.pm

XML::DOM http://search.cpan.org/~tjmather/XML-DOM-1.44/lib/XML/DOM.pm

All of these except XML::LibXML are built on top of XML::Parser.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.

I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.

Modules download from CPAN

[Open Source]

I would like to download all the modules (atleast important ones) from cpan 
website and keep them in my local disk rather going into www everytime. Can 
someone tell how to download all of them? Cheers

modules.

Sorry, you have to decide which ones are the important ones first.

There must be something else going on.
Works okay for me:

 >> cat qt
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumper;
my $data = XMLin("sample.xml");
print Dumper($data);

 >> ./qt
$VAR1 = {
 'department' => 'Operations',
 'name' => 'John',
 'age' => '43',
 'gender' => 'M'
 };

Thanks Brad/Steve, I had an issue in sourcing the XML::Simple from my 
distributed platform. I've redownloaded the module and my code now works!
