Hi,

This is the XML::Tape module. It is a class to manipulate XMLtape archives. These archives are well suited to store many XML documents. XMLtapes can be easy transported and parsed and validated with off-the-shelf XML tools. A description of XMLtape in digital libraries is found in this publication:

â€^TMFile-based storage of Digital Objects and constituent datastreams: XMLtapes and Internet Archive ARC filesâ€^TM http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.DL/0503016

To install the module:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
