It depends what you need to do.

The simplest option is probably to use XML::Twig (full disclosure: I am slightly 
biased ;--) An other option, which would probably lead to better speed (but I 
suspect at the expense of a steeper learning curve) would be to use 
XML::LibXML's pull mode.

I would advise against using SAX, which is harder to code and, last time I 
checked, was extremely slow.
