I've found XML::LibXML to be fast enough for all our needs, and we
get through some fairly big xml files.  It's not the smallest module on
CPAN, but it's not that large either.

I think that the conclusion so far in this thread is that the JSON and
YAML libraries are at least as unreliable.  :-)

Yep, XML APIs suck.  They have to though, as they're trying to be
completely general.
