Template::XML (3pm)

The Template-XML distribution provides a number of Template Toolkit plugin modules for working with \s-1XML\s0.

The Template::Plugin::XML module is a front-end to the various other \s-1XML\s0 plugin modules. Through this you can access \s-1XML\s0 files and directories of \s-1XML\s0 files via the Template::Plugin::XML::File and Template::Plugin::XML::Directory modules (which subclass from the Template::Plugin::File and Template::Plugin::Directory modules respectively). You can then create a Document Object Model (\s-1DOM\s0) from an \s-1XML\s0 file (Template::Plugin::XML::DOM), examine it using XPath queries (Template::Plugin::XML::XPath), turn it into a Perl data structure (Template::Plugin::XML::Simple) or parse it as an \s-1RSS\s0 (\s-1RDF\s0 Site Summary) file.

The basic \s-1XML\s0 plugins were distributed as part of the Template Toolkit until version 2.15 released in May 2006. At this time they were extracted into this separate Template-XML distribution and an alpha version of this Template::Plugin::XML front-end module was added.

Andy Wardley wrote the Template Toolkit plugin modules, with assistance from Simon Matthews in the case of the \s-1XML::DOM\s0 plugin. Matt Sergeant wrote the XML::XPath module. Enno Derksen and Clark Cooper wrote the \s-1XML::DOM\s0 module. Jonathan Eisenzopf wrote the \s-1XML::RSS\s0 module. Grant McLean wrote the XML::Simple module. Clark Cooper and Larry Wall wrote the XML::Parser module. James Clark wrote the expat library.
