I need to do some fairly simple processing
of XML files; I would like to be able to do this
in perl.
However, the XML I'm handling uses namespaces.
In practice, the tags do not overlap,
so I could achieve the functionality I need
by simply stripping namespace information.
Question: what XML parsers, callable from perl
support namespaces (either properly, or by
carefully ignoring them)?
And, of these, which (if any) of them do not require
compilation to install (i.e. which are "pure" perl).
The reason for the latter restriction is ease
of installation on some nasty, obscure, old
hardware (don't ask, you DON'T want to know ;-)
