[XML4Lib] document object model

[Eric Lease Morgan]

Can y'all point me to some normative examples of the document object  
model implemented in Perl?

I have some simple XML documents I want to read. For better or for  
worse I want to use DOM (not SAX, and certainly not regular  
expressions) to extract the data I require. There are at least a  
couple of Perl modules allowing me to do this: XML::DOM and  
XML:LibXML. Unfortunately, both modules point me to the official W3C  
DOM documentation, and that documentation is too heavy for me.

Do you know of some "gentle" introductions to the DOM API, preferably  
for Perl Mongers?
