All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

OpenOffice.org

Since a lot of my daytime involves OpenOffice.org, I've considered in the past of writing a set of modules for it (since it's all just XML anyway). It appears someone beat me to it. I looked at the code and I feel no sudden urges to start using that code. No clean XML generating. no clean code to begin with. Data dumping seems quite unflexible.

Anyway, a few reasons for me to try and make something too. The small section om XML::Writer in the Perl & XML book is sufficient.

Namespaces

As I recall, XML::Writer doesn't do namespaces too well. You might prefer to cook up something that uses XML::SAX::Writer. I did write XML::SAX::Builder for this purpose, but it's probably overkill. :-)
