.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module implements an \s-1XML\s0 parser in pure perl. It is written around the
upcoming perl 5.8's unicode support and support for multiple document 
encodings (using the PerlIO layer), however it has been ported to work with
\&\s-1ASCII/UTF8\s0 documents under lower perl versions.
.PP
The \s-1SAX2 API\s0 is described in detail at http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl\-xml/, in
the \s-1CVS\s0 archive, under libxml\-perl/docs. Hopefully those documents will be in a
better location soon.
.PP
Please refer to the \s-1SAX2\s0 documentation for how to use this module \- it is merely a
front end to \s-1SAX2,\s0 and implements nothing that is not in that spec (or at least tries
not to \- please email me if you find errors in this implementation).
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
XML::SAX::PurePerl is \fBslow\fR. Very slow. I suggest you use something else
in fact. However it is great as a fallback parser for \s-1XML::SAX,\s0 where the
user might not be able to install an \s-1XS\s0 based parser or C library.
.PP
Currently lots, probably. At the moment the weakest area is parsing \s-1DOCTYPE\s0 declarations,
though the code is in place to start doing this. Also parsing parameter entity
references is causing me much confusion, since it's not exactly what I would call
trivial, or well documented in the \s-1XML\s0 grammar. \s-1XML\s0 documents with internal subsets
are likely to fail.
.PP
I am however trying to work towards full conformance using the Oasis test suite.
