How to improve the performance of parsers in Perl?

Hi,

I have around one lakh records. I have used XML for the creation of the data.

I have used these 2 Perl modules.

Code:

use XML::DOM; 
use XML::LibXML;

The data will loo like this and most it is textual entries.

Code:

<eid>19000</eid>
<einfo>This is the ..........</einfo>
......
.................
.............................

But i am facing performance issues while creating XML chunk.

For Example: 9000 entries it is around 2 min.

Is there any option available to reduce the time taken and improve the performance of these modules and XML generation?

Is there any caching mechanism available for these modules?

How can i improve the performance and reduce the time taken and provide results in quicker way?

Any suggestions?

Regards
Archana

FYI: A lakh or lac (English pronunciation: /ˈl�k/ lak or /ˈlɑːk/ lahk) is a unit in the Indian numbering system equal to one hundred thousand (100,000).
