Actually it's called Data::DumpXML...

http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Data-DumpXML

I think it does a pretty decent job - reasonably DWIMly, flexible
enough for what I've needed it for.  I don't think it'd be that great
for trying to output XML conforming to some twisted design by
committee Rorschach DTD, but it's been useful.  I've never tried
XML::Dumper but it's another option.
