SYNOPSIS

use XML::Parser::Lite;

$p1 = new XML::Parser::Lite;

  Char => sub { shift; print "char: @_\n" },
  End => sub { shift; print "end: @_\n" },
);
$p1->parse('<foo id="me">Hello World!</foo>');

$p2 = new XML::Parser::Lite
  Handlers => {
    Start => sub { shift; print "start: @_\n" },
    Char => sub { shift; print "char: @_\n" },

DESCRIPTION

This Perl module gives you access to XML parser with interface similar to XML::Parser interface. Though only basic calls are supported (init, final, start, char, and end) you should be able to use it in the same way you use XML::Parser. Due to using experimantal regexp features it'll work only on Perl 5.6 and may behave differently on different platforms.
