NAME
Template::XML - XML plugins for the Template Toolkit
SYNOPSIS
[% USE XML;
dom = XML.dom('foo.xml');
xpath = XML.xpath('bar.xml');
simple = XML.simple('baz.xml');
rss = XML.simple('news.rdf');
%]
DESCRIPTION
The Template-XML distribution provides a number of Template Toolkit plugin modules for working with XML.
The Template::Plugin::XML module is a front-end to the various other XML plugin modules. Through this you can access XML files and direc-
tories of XML files via the Template::Plugin::XML::File and Template::Plugin::XML::Directory modules (which subclass from the Tem-
plate::Plugin::File and Template::Plugin::Directory modules respectively). You can then create a Document Object Model (DOM) from an XML
file (Template::Plugin::XML::DOM), examine it using XPath queries (Template::Plugin::XML::XPath), turn it into a Perl data structure (Tem-
plate::Plugin::XML::Simple) or parse it as an RSS (RDF Site Summary) file.
The basic XML 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.
