			      XML::PFIF

This is a perl module to implement the PFIF specification
and read/write PFIF XML and RSS.

Documentation is present as POD within the source files, and should be
installed as man pages. Examples of use are in t/testpfif, t/testrss,
and t/testreader, which output XML very similar to
pfif-1.1-example.xml and rss-pfif-1.1-example.xml at
http://zesty.ca/pfif/

to install:

gunzip -dc libxml-pfif-perl-1.0.tar.gz |tar xvf -
perl Makefile.PL
make
su -c "make install"

'make test' should work, but you need a diff(1) that supports -I

Also includes pfifcvt, which converts between PFIF XML and RSS

New module: XML::PFIF::Reader reads PFIF in both XML & RSS forms.
This module requires the XML::Twig module (and XML::Parser and
libexpat, which are used by XML::Twig). This enables it to process
large files a person record at a time without devouring memory.

New versions will be available at:

I will try very hard not to break the API.
