Request for Namespace XML::SimpleObject - XML and Objects
hi, name: Tina Mueller email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] url: http://www.tinita.de/ user-id: TINITA I recently realized that XML::Simple is too simple for my needs as it doesn't differ between attributes and elements if they are mixed. I tried out XML::DOM, but this seems to be too limited in some aspects and far too powerful in other aspects. It also seems to be slow in accessing elements, and a parsed tree is *very* big. So I started to write my own module. I gave it the name XML::SimpleObject (http://www.tinita.de/projects/perl/modules/). I wonder if there's already such a module, and if not I would upload it. I'm also glad about any suggestions about the interface and implementation. here's the abstract: XML::SimpleObject - Simple Interface for converting between XML and Objects This Module is a simple tool for converting XML into objects and vice versa. It is far from complete as I'm actually no expert in XML. It respects, however, the difference between Elements and Attributes like in the DOM. XML::Simple doesn't do that (at the moment), so that was actually the reason for me to write this module. It ignores values that contain only spaces ( \s ), and currently it encodes only in ISO-8859-1. regards, tina -- http://www.tinita.de/ \ enter__| |__the___ _ _ ___ http://Movies.tinita.de/ \ / _` / _ \/ _ \ '_(_-< of http://www.perlquotes.de/ \\ _,_\ __/\ __/_| /__/ perception http://www.tinita.de/peace/link.html - Spread Peace

I would be glad about a suggestion for a namespace which I could use for my module. regards, tina -- http://www.tinita.de/ \ enter__| |__the___ _ _ ___ http://Movies.tinita.de/ \ / _` / _ \/ _ \ '_(_-< of http://www.perlquotes.de/ \\ _,_\ __/\ __/_| /__/ perception http://www.tinita.de/peace/link.html - Spread Peace
Registration-request
Name: Tina email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] homepage: http://www.tinita.de Preferred user-ID: TINITA i'm planning to contribute a module for checking bank-account- numbers in germany; i've implemented a couple of check-methods already, the rest will follow. i didn't find any module on CPAN that checks german account-numbers, although there is an existing (but commercial) module. i think it would best fit into the Business-namespace, like Business::DE::Konto (any suggestions welcome). regards, tina
Validating and generating IBANs
hi, as the IBAN (International Bank Account Number) becomes more and more important (at least in europe), I thought of writing a small module which validates and generates such numbers. It's a very simple algorithm, but it might become convenient to have it in a module. I didn't find "IBAN" in the list archive, and I've already set up a module Business::IBAN (http://www.tinita.de/projects/perl/Business-IBAN-0.1.tar.gz), but maybe there's a better name, or there is already a module on CPAN which handles IBAN, so i'm happy for any suggestions. (it also generates ISO3166-codes for a country (needed for the IBAN), and I didn't find a module for iso3166-codes.) regards, tina -- http://www.tinita.de \ enter__| |__the___ _ _ ___ http://Movies.tinita.de/ \ / _` / _ \/ _ \ '_(_-< of http://PerlQuotes.tinita.de/ \\ _,_\ __/\ __/_| /__/ perception
