+XML::Node is a Perl5 module which provides a simplified extension interface
+to XML::Parser.
+
+Paraphrasing the README:
+
+ Instead of worrying about "start", "end", and "char" callbacks of every
+ single XML node, you can simply say that you only want to be notified when
+ a path is found.
+
+ Using XML::Node, you can ignore the parts of XML files that you are not
+ interested in. Additionally, you can register a variable instead of a
+ callback function. The corresponding string found in an XML file will be
+ automatically appended to your variable.
