RE: PERL and XML Parser

There are tons of XML modules, many of which make that sort of thing easy...
but it depends on exactly what you want to do.  Here are some snippets:

use XML::EasyOBJ;

my $obj = new XML::EasyOBJ('killme.xml');

foreach ( $obj->albums ) {
	print $_->owner->getString . "\n";
}

-- OR --

use XML::RAX;

my $rax = new XML::RAX;

$rax->openfile('killme.xml');
$rax->setRecord('albums');

while ( my $rec = $rax->readRecord ) {
	print $rec->getField('owner') . "\n";
}

....And there are *LOTS* more.  It all depends on what you need to do.

BTW - The current version of XML::EasyOBJ on CPAN is a bit old.  I have a
newer version that includes read and write capabilities but I haven't
written up the new docs for it yet.  I can send it if you wanted.

i forgot, my code was getting all the contents with no particular handlers.
(ie contents of "rock", "reggae", "owner" elements were trapped. all i want 
is the content of the "owner" elements.

thanks again.
