I'm trying to become a master of XML/RSS I used to do 100% regexes...fast but messy. Then I decided to read around and discovered SAX and DOM. My latest scripts I've been using LibXML in Perl, very fast! A port of the GNOME parser. What are all the other Perl XML parsers? Seems like there is a lot floating around that is very out of date. With Python, I just did a script using minidom and I was less than thrilled! I want to look into lxml (port of GNOME) and elementtree. I did just find this cool shallow copy method - kind of SAX like - I'm going to check out: http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~cameron/REX.html since I really do like just hacking away with regexes in the end
