NAME
       XML::Parser - A perl module for parsing XML documents

SYNOPSIS
         use XML::Parser;

         $p1 = new XML::Parser(Style => 'Debug');
         $p1->parsefile('REC-xml-19980210.xml');
         $p1->parse('<foo id="me">Hello World</foo>');

         # Alternative
         $p2 = new XML::Parser(Handlers => {Start => \&handle_start,
                                            End   => \&handle_end,
                                            Char  => \&handle_char});
         $p2->parse($socket);

         # Another alternative
         $p3 = new XML::Parser(ErrorContext => 2);

         $p3->setHandlers(Char    => \&text,
                          Default => \&other);

         open(FOO, 'xmlgenerator |');
         $p3->parse(*FOO, ProtocolEncoding => 'ISO-8859-1');
         close(FOO);

         $p3->parsefile('junk.xml', ErrorContext => 3);

DESCRIPTION
       This module provides ways to parse XML documents. It is built on top of
       XML::Parser::Expat, which is a lower level interface to James Clark's
