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 directories of XML files via the Template::Plugin::XML::File and
       Template::Plugin::XML::Directory modules (which subclass from the Template::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 (Template::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.
