need to already know Perl, but not XML
Perhaps you already have used it elsewhere. If you are interested in this book, you should already be aware of the importance of XML. More importantly, you should already have the basics of Perl. The book does not start from scratch on it. Though it assumes no prior knowledge of XML. It shows what can be done in Perl, to parse, change and write XML. Numerous modules already exist, especially for parsing. You really do not want to write an XML parser!

Once you've understood enough to have your own custom XML files and be able to write Perl to read and display these, then it should get easier. Those initial steps can then easily be modified as your XML data and analysis changes.

Using practical, real-world examples
XML And Perl is a continuingly useful addition to personal and professional XML and Perl reference collections. Using practical, real-world examples, XML And Perl is the collaborative effort of Mark Riehl and Ilya Sterin to demonstrates how to perform a variety of XML tasks, ranging from such basic tasks as XML parsing, to more advanced tasks such as writing XML event handlers, RDBMS integration, and XML transformation.

Well maybe you'll print this one.
Their various CD Books are pathetic. I wrote a review VERY critical of what O�Reilly passes off as reference books. Shortly after getting burned on two of their books, I was in need of a solid technical book on perl and XML. Well instead of O�Reilly�s Perl and XML I voted with my dollars for Reihl�s XML and Perl. This is how a technical reference should be written. If you want to get into the perl and xml saddle quick, you can�t have a better boost thatn XML and Perl.
