XML within parrot?

2003-02-17 Thread Tupshin Harper
I've been a parrot lurker for quite some time, and I've recently wanted to start participating in some way. One idea that came to mind was to port a language I wrote a while back which is an XML->relational converter. Call it XTOR(XML to Relational for lack of imagination). Think of it as analo
