++XML::Twig

On: XML::Simple for Perl Developers

Yep, XML::Twig is the thing to use - gives you the efficiency of a stream/event based parser and the convenience of DOM/XML::Simple style access.
XML::Simple is a toy in comparison.

Detecting hardware manually

On: Software Returns to its Source

"detect some hardware manually..."

This involves a screwdriver, moving
a lot of cables out of the way,
and wrenching your video cards out
of their slots, right? Because even
if you still have the wrapper, manual
or driver readme files, not one of
them tells you exactly what model
your specific card is.

This isn't really something that's
fun to do during an install.
