Read in XML, Write out XML

[oliverreade]

I can read in an XML file, but I don't know how to create an XML file from what has been read in!

How do I create an XML file with the information I have read in from an XML file?


Thanx

go to

http://search.cpan.org

and look for XML modules. There are plenty that can do the processing for you. I currently use XML:arser, but it isn't the easiest of modules to get to grips with. Apparantly XML::Simple is a good basic module to use.

I must be close to looking at all the descriptions on the net re: XML::Simple.

I have used it and can get it to display XML files but I don't know how to use to to create XML files. There is no practical example!!!

The SYNOPSIS for XML::Simple is:-

my $xml = XMLout($hashref [, <options>]);

whereas XMLin's example is:-

my $ref = XMLin([<xml file or string>] [, <option>]);

Therefore I can getthe first part of my program to work (ie read in an XML file), but I can't get the second part of my program to work. Which is to write out a new XML file from the original XML file that was read in.
