Subject: something similar to perl's XML::Simple

Hi!

I'm trying to write a few simple apps (a flash-card type
program for chinese characters, and a simple address book
type program), and for the file format i want to use XML.
Anyway, i don't need anything complex at all... just the most
basic reading/writing of xml files possible. i was looking
through a bunch of the various ruby-xml libraries, and it
seems that rexml is the 'official' xml library for ruby? I
like the looks of it, but it seems overly complex for what i
want to do. My friend steve told me about a module in perl
called xml:simple (apparently it just loads up the xml file
into a nice little hash for you). Anyway, that sounds like
just the thing for me, and i was wondering if ruby had
anything similar. If not maybe just some simple example code
for rexml (the debian packages didnt' seem to come w/ any).
Tips or suggestions on xm file i/o would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Cameron Matheson
