DBIx/XMLServer version 0.02

This module implements the whole process of generating an XML document from a database query, in response to an HTTP request. The mapping from the DBI database to an XML structure is defined in a template file, also in XML; this template is used not only to turn the data into XML, but also to parse the query string. To the user, the format of the query string is very natural in relation to the XML data which they will receive.

New in version 0.02:

• Mechanism for including meta-data about search in result
• Two ways of counting total number of matching rows
• Alternative way of parsing XPaths; no more Parse::RecDescent
• Named-parameter interface to functions
• Ordering of results
• User selection of templates
• Many more tests
