I used XML::Twig for *everything* for many years. It's not pure perl -- it sits on top of expat, which is written in C.

Looks like Christopher already wrote you a solution in XML::XPath? Are you all set then?

Note that xpath is implemented in lots of libraries (Perl and otherwise). It's available in XML::Twig too -- see get_xpath().  xpath rocks.   :)

I haven't done any XML work since I left Omni Hotels back in Oct 2010. They use the hell out of XML, but since I've left I've worked with more JSON than XML.   -shrug-

HTH,
