XML and Perl
| Now that we have presented a high-level concept of XML and Perl, it's time to see some of the tasks that we can accomplish when we combine these two tools.

We're going to discuss XML and Perl, and how they are used together to create portable, powerful, and easily extensible applications. This chapter covers the concepts and basics of the most popular XML technologies. Each of these technologies is utilized in Perl applications throughout the book, and we provide a working example that clearly illustrates the proper way to use the respective Perl module. Here are the topics that we'll discuss in this chapter:
