Let me get this straight: your preferred vehicle for XML
parsing is Perl regular expressions? That's ... well, it's
a different impression than I've ever gained from anyone
else with deep XML experience. It's sure not my first
instinct.

Not sure what the entire context of this thread is, but I get the impression
that you've misread what he was saying. XML parsing is an example of text
processing, and there are a number of Perl modules that can be used for that
task. Perl probably wouldn't be my first choice for parsing markup languages
(I'd personally use Omnimark), but it is all things to all people.
