Michel Rodriguez has updated the Ways to Rome survey of Perl modules for processing XML.

Espousing the Perl culture of there being More Than One Way To Do It, the Ways to Rome paper presents no less than eleven Perl solutions to a tree-filtering problem, utilizing the various CPAN XML modules available.

Each of the methods is benchmarked, and full listings are given, giving the reader a reasonable idea of performance/complexity tradeoffs and some good starting points for Perl/XML coding.
