libxml2 Perl Bindings

Please consider adding up-to-date Perl binding info to the
libxml2 home
page.  The Perl binding that is aimed at tracking libxml2
completely is the
XML::LibXML module available at www.cpan.org.  It is being
actively
developed and maintained and its mailing list is at
perl-xmllistserv.activestate.com.

Thanks for a great product!

-Tom

Daniel,

the current maintainer of the Perl bindings happens to be
me. 
Currently xmlsoft.org refers to the bindigns at 
http://xmlsoft.org/pyt
hon.html (a bit confusing by itself) as 
follows

"Matt Sergeant developed XML::LibXSLT, a Perl wrapper
for 
libxml2/libxslt as part of the AxKit XML application
server."

Although this is true, none of the links provided currently
points 
to something useful and moreover, the paragraph is probably
hard to 
find. This is probably the reason behind Tom's postings.

I suggest the following changes, which should be more than 
sufficient for most users:

Remove the aforementioned paragraph, and instead add a link


<a href="http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/XML-LibXML">Perl
bindings</a>

to the section Related links, along C++, Ruby, PHP, etc. at

http://xmlsoft.org and a
possibly another link

<a href="http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/XML-LibXSLT">Perl libxslt 
bindings</a>

to the section Related links (near XSLT with PHP) at 
http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT.


Thanks a lot and appologies to both you and Tom about not
stepping 
in sooner.

Daniel, <www.xmlsoft.org> looks complete and
up-to-date (for now)--very nice!

To me the link name 'Python and bindings' is a little
misleading (I  
wouldn't think that Perl links would be there).  Shouldn't
it be  
changed to the more generic 'Language bindings'?

This list was mentioned in the README file (but I guess
nobody reads these 
files anymore). The next version will have a similar
paragraph added to the 
docs as well.
