PERL XML IMPLEMENTATION DOCUMENTATION
Description:
A basic set of Perl modules to interact with the DataUnison API. These modules use XML::Simple to parse and handle the requests. All requests are stored internally as a hash, which should allow for easier and less complex use, by interacting with the predefined functions provided.

A basic testing script is also provided to help you get started.
