Scenario:
I'm on an AIX machine - actually, over a dozen. I have an application that outputs information to XML files, unfortunately without linebreaks. I have a need to run scripts that can make queries on those files. It's mostly simple : If they were normal log files, grep and cut would do me just fine. However, I'm stuck with what I've got.
I've done very little work with XML, and these are production AIX machines, so I can't install random software to see if something works. Perl is on these machines, and grepping through @INC for XML shows me (abridged):
XML/LibXML
XML/Parser
XML/Simple
XML/SAX
Is using one of these the right way to go about doing what I need to do?
