DOM parsing the XML configuration File

Re: Deleting a Node | Re: DOM parsing the XML configuration File
& XSLT Hi,

I have just joined the perl user mailing list and am new to using Perl.
Thank you for reading my question first of all.

I want to parse and update certain elements of a XML configuration
File, and tried using XML::DOM module for parsing. However, I have
problem in reading in the file at first,
 which is named "reuters.express.web.config", with type: xml configuration file.
I tried doing both
my $doc = $parser-> parsefile("reuters.express.web.config");
my $doc = $parser-> parsefile("reuters.express.web.config.xml");
but it complains of not being able to read the file in at all.

My question is...
1. is it possible to use DOM parser to parse the XML configuration
file which is different than normal XML file I believe?
2. If so, how can I exactly read in the file?
3. If now, which kind of parser is recommended for parsing XML
configuration file? and how exactly can the file be read in?

I'd really appreciate if I get help for the problem.

Thank you.
-Jaebin
