NAME
    Template::XML - XML plugins for the Template Toolkit

SYNOPSIS
        [% USE XML;

           dom    = XML.dom('foo.xml');
           xpath  = XML.xpath('bar.xml');
           simple = XML.simple('baz.xml');
           rss    = XML.simple('news.rdf');
        %]
    
DESCRIPTION
    The Template-XML distribution provides a number of Template Toolkit
    plugin modules for working with XML.

    The Template::Plugin::XML module is a front-end to the various other XML
    plugin modules. Through this you can access XML files and directories of
    XML files via the Template::Plugin::XML::File and
    Template::Plugin::XML::Directory modules (which subclass from the
    Template::Plugin::File and Template::Plugin::Directory modules
    respectively). You can then create a Document Object Model (DOM) from an
    XML file (Template::Plugin::XML::DOM), examine it using XPath queries
    (Template::Plugin::XML::XPath), turn it into a Perl data structure
    (Template::Plugin::XML::Simple) or parse it as an RSS (RDF Site Summary)
    file.

    The basic XML plugins were distributed as part of the Template Toolkit
    until version 2.15 released in May 2006. At this time they were
    extracted into this separate Template-XML distribution and an alpha
    version of this Template::Plugin::XML front-end module was added.
