web server, and send the raw data (in XML format) to a client's browser, and then
use either XML::Parser from PerlScript, or MSXML from VBScript/JavaScript on the
client's machine to generate HTML (obviously this relies upon using MS IE for their
Active Scripting Engine, and MSXML comes with IE5beta).

Another use is a simple database extraction tool, which is included, called sql2xml.
This tool simply dumps a table in a database to an XML file. This can be used in
conjunction with xml2sql (part of the XML::DBI(?) package) to transfer databases
from one platform or database server to another.

Binary data is encoded using UTF-8. This is automatically decoded when parsing
with XML::Parser.

Included with the distribution is a "Scriptlet" - this is basically a Win32 OLE
wrapper around this class, allowing you to call this module from any application
that supports OLE. To install it, first install the scriptlets download from
microsoft at http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting. Then right-click on XMLDB.sct
in explorer and select "Register". Create your object as an instance of
"XMLDB.Scriptlet".
