Yes, there are several, but the most popular one is the XML:arser module.
Originally developed by Larry Wall, Clark Cooper now maintains the XML:arser module. The module is a Perl wrapper around Expat, a non-validating parser
written in C by James Clark. The module can be found on any CPAN server or on Clark's home page at The distribution includes Expat, so you don't have to worry about installing it separately.
More information on Expat is available at Clark Cooper has also written a nice intro to XML:arser which is available at
In some cases, you may want to utilize regular expressions to manipulate XML.
REX, written by Rob Cameron, is a fairly complete shallow parser written in Perl. Information on Rex can be found at
