I see that Martin already gave you the basics.  Ask further questions as you 
need them, but about this XML::SAX::Machines thing: I'm not sure what it is, 
but if, as you suggest, it's something that would help newbies to SAX filter 
writing, we'd be grateful if you were willing to implement and post such a 
module with our help and guidance.  We'd also be grateful if you post exactly 
how you succeed in your task when you do so that others like you can benefit.

Thanks.
