Here (http://www.w3.org/1999/02/26-modules/) are several CPAN modules
that I'm releasing for public review/enhancement. I still need to do
quite a bit of documentation work, but I figured I'd better release
them so others for work with me. Here's what you'll find:

W3C-Rdf-RdfParser-0.90.tar.gz
  An rdf SAX parser
    PerlXmlParser - a simple no-entities XML parser.
    ExpatXmlParser - a SAX interface to the real XML parser.

W3C-SAX-XmlParser-0.95.tar.gz
  My implementation of the Java SAX spec. See below.

W3C-Util-Basekit-0.90.tar.gz
  Some stuff useful for the DBStreamHandle function

W3C-Database-DBStreamHandle-0.95.tar.gz
  a handle ddb.pl utility for database conversions

A word about the SAX interface (from man W3C::SAX::XmlParser):
The SAX interface is still under flux. Ken MacLeod is working on
building consensus on a standardized interface. There are arguments
for and against making it directly analogous to Java's SAX. I will
leave mine in this form until this is all sorted out. Good luck Ken.

have fun,
