Looking for simple example for parsing a XML-file

Q: XML::XPath, node_global_pos ? | RE: Looking for simple example for parsing a XML-file
& XSLT I'm trying to find out how I can parse an XML-file using Perl, and I'm
having trouble finding working example that can introduce me to this.

Here is an example of what I need to do:

Given this XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> 
<course name="My Course"> 
<chapter number="01" name="Chapter 1"> 
<text> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.</text>
<bullet> This is a bullet</bullet>
<text>  Duis ultricies. Phasellus augue sapien, auctor ac.</text>
</chapter> 
<chapter number="02" name="Chapter 2"> 
<text> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.</text>
</chapter> 
</course> 

the following should be done:

- Create directory "My Course"
- Create directory "My Course/Chapter 1"
- Create file "My Course/Chapter 1/text1" containing "Lorem ipsum
dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit."
- Create file "My Course/Chapter 1/bullet2" containing "This is a
bullet"
- Create file "My Course/Chapter 1/text3" containing " Duis
ultricies. Phasellus augue sapien, auctor ac."
- Create directory "My Course/Chapter 2"
- Create file "My Course/Chapter 2/text1" containing "Lorem ipsum
dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit."

As you can see, the order of the nodes is important, so I can't use
XML::Simple.

Any help, hints, examples, which module to use, etc. is appreciated.


Best regards,

Jarle Hammen Knudsen
