xml

[Dean Gaudet <dg...@arctic.org>]

One of my clients asked if there's an XML module, or any work on
supporting XML.  Anyone here?  I've no idea what they really want to do
yet.

Hmm, perhaps it does make sense. Some of the "push" thingies are able to
output a dynamic XML index listing the other resources available at their
site. I believe Marimbas W3C submission uses something like it.

Still not much better, but hopefully closer to what your client is
referring to.

Right that's what I thought too -- I don't know anything about xml though
so I asked in case it made sense.

That doesn't make much sense.  That's like asking for an SGML module.

Maybe they want a server-side module to map a database output onto XML for
network transmission to an XML-aware browser applet or ActiveX? Perl would
do that fine...
