I was using Data::Phrasebook [cpan.org] to store my SQL calls and I started out using the XML backend. I then realized I needed a more lenient format because SQL can have >= and <= which is not valid XML. I was caught up in the "Oh! I can learn and use XML for that!" syndrome.

I switched to the YAML backend and I haven't been happier.
