Scripting Language for Parsing XML

Hello,

I want to know which shell scripting language (like AWk, Perl or any other) is the best for parsing and editing
1) space or Comma Separated Datsets
2) XML type Datasets.

For XML's I would suggest perl. There are inbuilt modules that exposes routines which will do most of your work. For comma separated data sets, you may use awk/perl depending on the complexity of the job.
