Randal is of course right ... The code in XML::Parser::Lite is small
enough that it could be ripped out and used in any program that needed to
parse XML, the regular expression at its core, however is that scary that
I wouldn't want to put it anywhere near any children :)

XML::Parser::Lite is distributed with SOAP::Lite - it is only 202 lines
long including POD and comments.
