.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The Template-XML distribution provides a number of Template Toolkit
plugin modules for working with \s-1XML.\s0
.PP
The Template::Plugin::XML module is a front-end to the various other
\&\s-1XML\s0 plugin modules.  Through this you can access \s-1XML\s0 files and
directories of \s-1XML\s0 files via the Template::Plugin::XML::File and
Template::Plugin::XML::Directory modules (which subclass from the
Template::Plugin::File and Template::Plugin::Directory modules
respectively).  You can then create a Document Object Model (\s-1DOM\s0) from
an \s-1XML\s0 file (Template::Plugin::XML::DOM), examine it using XPath
queries (Template::Plugin::XML::XPath), turn it into a Perl data
structure (Template::Plugin::XML::Simple) or parse it as an \s-1RSS\s0 (\s-1RDF\s0
Site Summary) file.
.PP
The basic \s-1XML\s0 plugins were distributed as part of the Template Toolkit
until version 2.15 released in May 2006.  At this time they were
extracted into this separate Template-XML distribution and an alpha
version of this Template::Plugin::XML front-end module was added.
.SH "AUTHORS"
.IX Header "AUTHORS"
Andy Wardley wrote the Template Toolkit plugin modules, with
assistance from Simon Matthews in the case of the \s-1XML::DOM\s0 plugin.
Matt Sergeant wrote the XML::XPath module.  Enno Derksen and Clark
Cooper wrote the \s-1XML::DOM\s0 module.  Jonathan Eisenzopf wrote the
\&\s-1XML::RSS\s0 module.  Grant McLean wrote the XML::Simple module.  Clark
Cooper and Larry Wall wrote the XML::Parser module.  James Clark wrote
the expat library.
