at the upcoming Processing XML with Perl session at the 2010 XyUG Conference. My thinking was that this should not be just another XPP and Perl session, so what does everyone want to hear about? Free standing tools? CGI? Script design? Regular Expressions? Will it brew a really good cup of coffee? Here is your chance to influence the session.

If you want to go over the different ways of processing an XML file using Perl, you will need more than a session.
The hunt for a good and reliable RE to catch a chunk of text or a certain tag or certain atrributes or to split an XML instance into different parts, could already be an interesting story. Especially if you would explain what not to do…
And than there is the different parser techniques: SAX or DOM and the modules that go with and why/when you want to use one or the other.
Also choosing the correct module to write out XML could be of interest.
As you see more than one can put in a single session…
- A summary of the latest Perl XML modules and what XML tasks they are suited for.
- Are there certain tasks that would be better suited to XSLT solution?
- What tasks are very difficult in XSLT and maybe better suited for a Perl solution?
