  Yep, using the callback ability of XML::Parser..

  Not to bust any bubbles, but I'd be extremely wary of having a connection such as this, as it would be WIDE open for exploits..  It saves the overhead, but the overhead is there for a reason..  I like the direction your going, I guess I just don't like the implementation..


>PPS>where are these mythical modules, I don't see them on the developers site..

  In CVS, along with the nightly snaps..
