A good book giving an introduction to the different modules you'll need to know. However, it fails to fill the void of a Perl XML reference manual. I needed something to explain all the ins and outs of XPath, and this just glosses the surface. This book includes much needed information on XPath expressions, but doesn't explain all the methods and things to watch out for.


In short, a good book to let you know what modules you need, but doesn't get to the meat of the modules.


At a minimum I'd want an appendix with all the man pages. But real explanations and hints would be better.
