XML Module Interdependencies

Below are the interdependencies of various XML modules found on CPAN, as reported by pmload (part of Tom Christiansen's pmtools package).

Caveats:

There is no guarantee that this is a comprehensive list.

Even when one module does not directly require another, you may need to use another to do any useful work. Many modules give examples of such use in their documentation.

This list excludes dependencies on modules bundled as standard with Perl and on modules which are not XML-related

This is a work in progress - I'll update with any corrections or additions I receive

An example of a kind of dependency which pmload will not pick up is this from XML::PatAct::ToObjects:

if (defined $self->{GroveBuilder}) {
        require XML::Grove::Builder;
        import XML::Grove::Builder;
        $self->{GroveBuilder} = XML::Grove::Builder->new();
}

The dependencies:

XML::miniXQL

Dependent on XML::DOM:

XML::XSLT - (also dependent on XML::Parser)
