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..

In CVS, along with the nightly snaps..
