XML::Writer is a simple Perl module for writing XML documents: it takes care of constructing markup and escaping data correctly, and by default, it also performs a significant amount of well-formedness checking on the output, to make certain (for example) that start and end tags match, that there is exactly one document element, and that there are not duplicate attribute names. Here is an example: my $writer = new XML::Writer(); $writer->startTag('greeting', 'type' => 'simple'); $writer->characters("Hello, world!"); $writer->endTag('greeting'); $writer->end(); If necessary, error-checking can be turned off for production use. This release 0.4.1 fixes a warning about 'use IO' being deprecated. See the Changes file for detailed changes between versions.
