Both look very promising if you need a lightweight alternativ to XML.Edited 2007-02-05 07:54 Mon, 05 Feb 2007 07:54:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (DevL) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?209295 http://osnews.com/thread?209295 is very nice. we've been using it for a few years now in one of our applications.

XML::DT
