This project is for a demo of "XML and Perl" for SVPerl, the Silicon Valley Perl user group, in Sunnyvale, CA, USA. It showcases five of the major XML handling options: * XML::Simple * XML::XPath * XML::LibXML * XML::SAX * XML::Rabbit It uses these modules to parse sample Medline data from PubMed into objects. I chose to use the "2012 Production Year Data" in the 2012 NLMMedlineCitationSet DTD from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/sample_records_avail.html . This data is freely available and representative of large-scale data in XML form. The sample data in this project is taken from that dataset and is, I believe, copyrighted by the US National Library of Medicine.
