- DESCRIPTION
-
- XML::Simple - Easy API to read/write XML (esp config files)
-
-
- PREREQUISITES
-
- XML::Simple requires a module capable of parsing XML - either XML::SAX or
- XML::Parser must be installed (if you're running ActivePerl, you'll
- already have XML::Parser installed).
-
- If you have installed XML::SAX, it will be used by default. You should
- consider installing XML::SAX::Expat or XML::LibXML to replace the (slower)
- PurePerl parser from the XML::SAX distribution.
-
- If you install using the CPAN.pm shell and you do not have either XML::Parser
- or XML::SAX installed, then XML::SAX will be installed by default.
-
- To generate documents with namespaces, XML::NamespaceSupport is required.
-
- The optional caching features of XML::Simple also require Storable.pm.
-
-
- WARNING MESSAGES FROM XML::SAX
-
- When you use XML::Simple, you may see this warning message:
-
- could not find ParserDetails.ini in C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX
-
- This means your XML::SAX installation is broken (perhaps you installed
- version 0.10 from the ActiveState PPM repository). Since it's broken
- anyway, the simplest way to suppress these warnings is to remove
- C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX.pm.
-
- The procedure for correctly installing the latest version of XML::SAX
- is documented here:
-
- http://perl-xml.sourceforge.net/faq/#win32_cpan
-
- BUILDING/INSTALLING
-
- Once the archive is unpacked, use these commands:
-
- perl Makefile.PL
- make
- make test
- make install
-
- If for some reason, you can't run these commands, you can simple copy
- the Simple.pm file to your lib/XML directory (where Parser.pm lives).
-
- If you want to test the module, but don't have 'make', try:
-
- perl maketest
-
-
