Well, I'm the first to admit that my background is not in CS; so asking "is SAX a blah-blah-parser?" will likely draw a stare.
That said, however, the reality is that SAX itself makes no rule about which type of parser you hook to it. It is a simple event-based API who's only real expectation is that the various "lexical events" (start_document, end_document, start_element, end_element, etc.) are fired in document order. How you choose to fire those events based on the needs of your application is entir

I'm interested to see that your admitted inability to understand what I'm saying hasn't stopped you from reacting to it indignantly.

Well, I must say that I understand kingubu's reaction. He worked hard on PerlSAX2 as several of us did and reading here that SAX is just as bad as POD if not worse, without even the slightest factual argument to sustain such a claim is a bit, err, hard :-) That's why I'm asking for precisions above, I know it's a journal and anyone can bitch about whatever (which I do) without sustaining one's claims but still, if you think SAX sucks we would be glad to hear about why it sucks instead of just aspersions

You may have read that, but I didn't write it. I sense that you two are reacting very defensively to things you're irrationally imputing to my message.

This is very disconcerting. A similar situation existed with Pod; and I found it very very hard to fix that situation
That's what I read. I don't feel that I'm reacting very defensively to your message. Perhaps it is that, despite the fact that I've defended POD against offered replacements on more than one occasion, I really hate it :-). That would suffice to explain what appears as defensiveness ("What? You compared my baby to POD!!!" ;-).
That is not to say that we won't accept your remedies.
