The great thing about XML is that people have already written generic
modules to deal with most kinds of data massaging as long as you use the
standard interfaces.  You can do such editing of the file using one of the
DOM modules on CPAN.  I don't know about a SQL type of interface to do
such things though...  XQL lets you retrieve information only I believe.
