+%description
+The XML::Simple module provides a simple API layer on top of an underlying XML
+parsing module (either XML::Parser or one of the SAX2 parser modules).  Two
+functions are exported: "XMLin()" and "XMLout()".  Note: you can explicity
+request the lower case versions of the function names: "xml_in()" and
+"xml_out()".
+
+The simplest approach is to call these two functions directly, but an
+optional object oriented interface (see "OPTIONAL OO INTERFACE" below)
+allows them to be called as methods of an XML::Simple object.  The object
+interface can also be used at either end of a SAX pipeline.
