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.
