Hi I am new to Perl and was wondering if there is any module in Perl to manipulate the XML representation of a .NET Dataset. Please do let me know. Thanks, Vinit

As long as the XML is indeed valid XML, then you have a whole slew of modules to choose from: [cpan://XML]

I [http://www.google.com/search?safe=on&q=.NET+Dataset+XML+example|Google'd] for such XML and came up with the following code that uses [cpan://XML::Simple]

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use XML::Simple;

my $xml = XMLin(\*DATA);

print Dumper $xml;

__DATA__

  
    Portland
    32
  
  
    Berlin
    20
  
  
    Pune
    16

Hope this helps, feel free to ammend your question with any specifics. :)

If you want to treat the data like a database (i.e. access and/or modify it with DBI and SQL), the DBD::AnyData module can work with a number of XML formats and may be able to work directly with what you've got, I'd have to see some sample data to know for sure though.
