#The start of the XML document 
#The end of the XML document 

#Parameters Passed to Your XML Callback Routines 

#Routine      Parameters
#Start        XML::Parser object reference, element name, attribute, value.
#End          XML::Parser object reference, element name
#Char         XML::Parser object reference, text data
#Init         XML::Parser object reference
#Final        XML::Parser object reference

                          End   => \&tag_end,  
                          Char  => \&tag_char_data} );  
  
$parser->parsefile($filename);  
  
# Handles the start of a tag.
