DESCRIPTION

This Perl module gives you access to XML parser with interface similar to XML::Parser interface. Though only basic calls are supported (init, final, start, char, and end) you should be able to use it in the same way you use XML::Parser. Due to using experimantal regexp features it'll work only on Perl 5.6 and may behave differently on different platforms.
