[JDEV] Perl code sample needed...

[Matt Mankins]

I've taken to liking Twig.

http://www.xmltwig.com/

But you can start off with something else while you're trying to figure
stuff out... XML::Simple works for playing around...

Here's an XML/Perl Quick start
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/04/18/perlxmlqstart1.html

This page gives you links that are handy:
http://standards.ieee.org/resources/spasystem/twig/perl_xml/perl_xml.html

Good luck,

Mankins
