EXAMPLE1

 use strict;
 use warnings;

 use Tag::Reader::Perl;
 use Unicode::UTF8 qw(decode_utf8 encode_utf8);

 # Object.
 my $obj = Tag::Reader::Perl->new;

 # Example data.
 my $sgml = <<'END';
 <DOKUMENT> 
   <adresa stát="cs">
     <město>
     <ulice>Nová</ulice>
     <číslo>5</číslo>
   </adresa>
 </DOKUMENT>
 END

 # Set data to object.
 $obj->set_text(decode_utf8($sgml));

 # Tokenize.
 while (my @tag = $obj->gettoken) {
         print "[\n";
         print "\t[0]: '".encode_utf8($tag[0])."'\n";
         print "\t[1]: ".encode_utf8($tag[1])."\n";
         print "\t[2]: $tag[2]\n";
