@roadskater Which module?

Also, it’s technically not new code…

@mjgardner It's a script using XML::Simple originally written in, I think, 2014. I think it was deprecated even then.

@roadskater Yep, XML::Simple v2.20 from 2012:

“The use of this module in new code is discouraged. Other modules are available which provide more straightforward and consistent interfaces. In particular, XML::LibXML is highly recommended.

"The major problems with this module are the large number of options and the arbitrary ways in which these options interact - often with unexpected results.”

@roadskater @mjgardner https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=490846 is old itself, but possibly useful?
