I wasn't handy with XML::Parser, but it isn't that difficult, as I
noticed.

Thus proving MS's point that XML is easier to parse than SPF
records....

/me discovers that he doesn't have the perl XML parser, and goes
munging around on cpan

/me discovers that the perl XML parser is maintained by Matt Sergeant,
who recommended against using XML for this kind of thing

/me discovers that the perl XML parser is >200k

That's zipped up. If I extract the archive and "make" it the size of my blib 
directory (i.e. what gets installed) is 660K.

That's slightly smaller than a full qmail installation (which runs at just 
under 1MB) :-)
