You'll propably want to use REXML and XPath:

require 'rexml/document'
require 'rexml/xpath'

include REXML

bibliography = Document.new( ARGV[0] )

XPath.each( bibliography, "/biblioentry[pubdate > 1993]") do
|biblioentry|
# do something with biblioentry here
end

Not entirely sure if that works, as the PC I'm on doesnt have Ruby
installed :(

As others say, for now REXML is probably the way to go, but *very* soon
now you'll be able to use Libxml2 also if things keep going to plan over
here.

require 'xml/libxml'

d = XML::parser.file('test.xml').parse
p d.find('//biblioentry[pubdate = 1977]').to_a

If you want to try it before we get to release go to CVS:
http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=494

(Also, REXML does support XPath, so you should be able to modify the
above to work with that. Just to be sure, I tried it 100 times over:

### XPath ###
user system total real
rexml 9.840000 0.080000 9.920000 ( 10.046963)
libxml2 0.090000 0.000000 0.090000 ( 0.139592)

Every time I've tried to use REXML for something I've found it to be
incredibly slow and painful on large files. Usually I start with
REXML, get annoyed, and then install QuiXML
(http://quixml.rubyforge.org/). Though it doesn't have bells and
whistles, it's a heck of a lot faster. Anyhow, I'm certainly looking
forward to your libxml2 bindings!

Actually, in real-world usage, Mark Pilgrim's Python Feed Parser[0]
falls back to regular expressions to get the data required if the XML is
not well-formed.

Admittedly this is a real problem for RSS hackers, less so with other
XML messages, but the approach does have merit if (a) you can't
guarantee well-formedness and (b) you absolutely have to have the data.
